| Description : | A single piece of wood that is a branch forming a long handle that naturally terminated into four small branches that form fingers that resemble a cage. One finger is shorter than the others. There is a burn mark approximately half way along the length. |
| Commentaires : | This Foam Beater stick was primarily used to swath through the foam that forms when boiling maple sap in order to keep it from boiling over. The Sugar Camp did not have a thermometer for checking the temperature of Maple Candy when it would be boiled so this stick was also used to test Maple Candy. A snowball would be placed in the fingers of the stick to hold as it was dipped in the boiling syrup. If the candy formed properly on the snowball, it was ready to take outside to pour on the snow. |
| Fonctions : | Used in Weldon Colpitts Family Maple Sugar Camp. Original camp started operation circa 1860. |
