I *LOOOVVVVVE* that it looks stable and is bilaterally operable - after all, I've got two opposable thumbs, not just one! Don't know what special, niche situation it was designed for though.

Yeah - that's what I finally figured-out that it must be (wasn't obvious to me though :( ).

I knew what it was too, because I saw one in a store and said WTH? and read the package. Weirdness.

Yes! I was afraid it was too easy...It's the first one I've ever seen here. From what I've read, they were more common up north where the grain didn't grow so thick. It is definitely a work of art to take so much thin wood and make a sturdy enough frame to do this job. The top tine is broken, unfortunately, and the rest I imagine are too old and brittle to risk using, so if anything I will make duplicates if I ever try it. The blade is in great shape and is 48" long! I can't believe no one else was interested enough to bid. Definitely worth $10, lol!

It really is a lovely work of art, some talented woodworking went into making that.
That's a good point about the weight of the basket frame. I'm thinking how best to replicate that to modify a non-cradle scythe. I'm thinking possibly the best option for a light weight cradle will be to weave together some basket willows to the right shape and use wire or hose clamps to attach it to the scythe. I imagine that would be strong enough to cut a small patch of oats.
