It was not until the 1940’s that my
mother finally got a sink with
running water in her kitchen. Up
until that time, we used a drysink.
This piece of furniture was a
yellow-grained poplar wood piece
that was set in a dark corner
behind an Indian door. It was three
feet from a coal and wood stove
that had a hot water reservoir.
Now this was handy, but in the
summer the heat in this window

After washing the dishes for our
family of nine, the water had to be
carried outside and dumped. Of

of the dishpan and over a pend of
many years rotted out the corners
of the sink. Some drysinks were

attic. The top half was devoid of

Finally last fall I decided to do
something about having it
restored. As it needed repairs, I
gave it to a professional refinisher
and ask that it be given a natural
finish.
It now sits in my kitchen, much
darker than I expected, but filled
with small antiques that were used
in kitchems of long ago It is
always a difficult choice to make
refmish a piece and lose some of its
value or display a worn-out looking
object I hope that I made the right
decision
