The Hominy Block

Kentucky pioneers had it rough.  They owned few metal utensils; tin cups, iron forks, and spoons were very rare. Nearly all their tools were fashioned of wood, by their own hands.

There were no mills, so each family had a hominy[39] block or wooden bowl with pestle which was used to pound Indian corn, or a rough homemade grater upon which it was grated.
