The holes are from nailing ironing board covers on. People often used old sheets or other recycled materials to cover the ironing board. They would turn the ironing board over and nailed the cover to secure. When worn out a new recycled cover was nailed on. I have seen my grandmother and mother do this many times. I enjoy your videos Mary. Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Yep, that’s how they did it back then. Ironing board covers wasn’t around back when our grandma’s n mother used these type of boards.♥️😊👍

I agree with those who suggested the holes in the ironing board are from different covers being nailed on over the years. The table you made from it is simply wonderful-wouldn’t fault you for keeping it!

My southern Granny's wood ironing board is hanging on the wall just a few feet from my computer desk. It's from the 1920s, patchy dark discoloration and warped boards. She was a dressmaker and didn't replace it till the 1950s. There was always a glass Coke bottle filled with lavender water sitting on the end of her board, with a little metal sprinkle stopper in it. My dad says the board was wrapped in several layers of old sheets and the coke bottle sat on a chipped saucer.

@shirleygorbutt3613 6 ай бұрын

I have my grandmothers wood ironing board. She also was a dress maker. I am sure the holes in the ironing board are from the many covers that were tact to the board. I remember as a little girl my grandma had a glass bottle ( I think it was a Pepsi bottle) with the metal shaker on the end. The bottle was always filled with liquid. I assume it was mixed with starch.

My very first thought was worms… It just seems like way too many holes all over the wood to be tacks…

@BRCGG1 6 ай бұрын

I was thinking bugs too because holes weren’t just on the sides to hold cover. Had those in old wall boards in our house before. Could still be in there if it had any fresh sawdust around it.

@catgrl6698 6 ай бұрын

Yes it is from wood boring beetles, common to find in antiques. It’s important to make sure the piece has been treated so they don’t spread to other pieces. It’s a known thing in the antique industry. Furniture that is made to look old will sometimes have faux holes like this

If it was woodworm there would also be holes in the top. I think it is from tacking new covers on over many years.

The ironing board would have been covered first the a natural cotton batting, then material over that and then the materialwas tacked to the underside, and along the sides to underside and also along the sides. Over time the fabric and batting would be replaced due to scorching and stains from sprinkling garments and linens in order to damp iron to get wrinkles out.

I have an antique wood ironing board with a metal base. My mom bought it for me in a garage sale for $3 in maybe 1981. I still use it as it was intended. Love it, even though it is heavy. Hope my kids keep it when I’m gone 😊…who knows? Love your creativity!

Exactly as stated below. They upholstered their ironing boards with old sheets and bits of old blankets and changed the pieces ever year or two as they fell to bits then recycled other bits of fabric that came along. I enjoy every thing you share, thank you and stay safe.

I watched my mother many times nail heavy fabric on her wooden ironing board. Usually they just put another layer right on top of the old one resulting in more nail holes. I have her wooden ironing board and use it to stack quilts

I agree that the holes in the edges and around the underside are from many years of attaching and replacing covers for the ironing board. Having had several boards in my now senior life I know the covers need replacing every so often and that means more holes each time. The older the board the more holes. 😊

The holes in the ironing board are from old fashioned tacks. You would tack an old folded blanket for padding, then tack a cover over it. You changed these when they were scorched (at least the cover). This was before the drawstring covers and metal boards. It was in the days when you sprinkled ironing with a corked bottle with holes in the top.

The holes are probably from decades of tacking on new ironing board covers judging by where the holes are. Once the sides are too full of holes they had to start tacking it to the back.

The holes are from changing batting and ironing board covers. Longevity depended on amount of use, so the older ones were frequently changed. Back in the 60s, we had drawstring covers but had to change batting at least 1/year. Then, came the metal boards and padded covers! Hurray! These days, I don't need to change the cover. The board gets so little use and I use a towel as a press cloth.

Mary, its an ironing board, the holes are where the batting covered in fabric was attached on to the top side to give a soft surface to iron on.

Yes, you would put padding, then a cover on with upholstery nails on the sides, then styles changed and you would cover all the way around and nail on the bottom. Then in the 50's an 60's you could buy fitted covers with a drawstring that you didn't have to nail any more. We used to do a LOT of ironing and burn up a lot of covers!

Mary......I FOUND THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION!!! YAY!:)just so you know it came from google, I googled it and before I completed the question it completed it for me and gave me options to click on with the answer!! The top of an ironing board is important to consider, too. The cover should have a taut surface, so an iron can glide across it, and the holes on the board's metal skeleton should be wide enough that they let steam pass through easily, so water doesn't build up.

I saw someone years ago, take a wooden ironing board and they cut 3 holes on the top towards the front, and they put terra cotta pots in them. It would have been cute like that with plants. Maybe on a patio. But they put colored burlap and flowered napkins in the pots and filled with veggies and on the back part they put a cutting board and had fruit and a bowl of dip for veggies and they used it first a Mother’s Day party. It looked so beautiful. I have searched for a wood ironing board since and have never found one. Id love to see you make something like that❤

I taken the covering off of an old one like that and there were several layers and even found what looked to be old cotton quilt batting underneath there, they just left the prior covers on and put new ones over the old so a whole new bunch of wholes were added each time, also seen cotton string to to help stretch things tight would run underneath like lacing up a shoe.s
