Using this vintage wooden churn is quite simple. Just pour the cream into the churn and start turning the handle. You'll notice the cream gradually turning into butter. As for the precautions, be gentle with the handle as it's an old piece and might be a bit fragile. When it comes to maintenance, wipe it down with a dry cloth after each use to keep it clean. Avoid exposing it to excessive moisture or direct sunlight to prevent damage to the wood.
