Bottom part of a wooden vegetable strainer consisting of two parts. This part has a hollow wooden cylindrical central section with a thin iron piece over the bottom of the cylinder with holes pierced in it to strain the vegetables through. The iron is attached to the wooden cylinder by overlapping iron triangles and nails. The rectangular handles on the bottom part curve at the base down to the bottom of the strainer to form rough pyramids in cross section.
