Satisfying Grids: Pair of Much Handled Antique Hand-carved Cracker Stamps rustic carving held to the central post--oneI don't do much with carved wooden butter and cookie molds which are not my expertise, but as a lover of little carved wooden objects and modular patterns just couldn't resist these, with their perfectly gridded ends.
