الوصف
The brake is a basketmaking tool used for stripping the bark from a willow rod to produce white or buff willow. This brake is made of wood and metal. The two metal rods are wedged with a block of wood. The metal tips curve outwards and the inside is lined with two metal rods. It was probably used by willow strippers in the basket making industry in Stoke Saint Gregory, Somerset.
