How neat is that?
Stop by the museum and check out our collection of jagging wheels on display in our "Homegrown" exhibit!

Let Them Eat Pie!

This particular jagging wheel is carved with leaves and flowers but there are all sorts of designs! Here's an example of an wheel in the shape of a sea serpent made from ivory.
