Community:
New York, Mount Lebanon
Description

Two yellow poplar stocking stretchers. The stretcher has a flat edge at top, 3 3/8" w. The back side tapers in slightly for the calf, curves in toward the front for the ankle, and out to form the heel. The line of the heel is curved to match the bottom of a foot, which is at a downward angle. The toe is rounded and continues at an angle up toward the ankle. The shin goes straight to the top edge. All edges are rounded. The stretchers each has a through hole at top center, which have fabric rope looped through each to secure the two together.
