Bread dough bowl or trough or trug

Has anyone noticed the appearance of a bread mixing trough just outside Hagrid's Hut leaning against the stone wall next to the scarecrow? 

I was glancing up while "the kids" were watching "The Prisoner of Askaban" film from the Harry Potter series.  The wooden antique is pictured several times first rather close and later in the background.  The scene is when Hermine and Harry go together back in time pretty close to the end of the film.  ...behind the pumpkin pile.

Hmmm I haven't, but I will have to go back and check it out.  I know exactly what scene you are talking about.

No, but that is totally cool. I wouldn't recognize one if it was in my own back yard, do you know of a link to a picture of one?

Similar to this but without the square edges. 

The one in the movie looks very Alpine in style.  Most often 2 or 3 were cut from a section of log getting smaller as the inside was removed.  I have seen a few of these "all in one" bowls and have seen a documentary somewhere on how they are made.

We've got a wooden dough box in our kitchen, antique, Canadian, similar to one they used in Australia for a sourdough bake-off.  It's big enough to be used as counter space.

Have you used it for dough and has it found other work in the kitchen?

It's old and brand new!  Looks like the one in the movie!
