Turn of the Century method to extract turpentine from pine trees in Central Florida. This tree was completely dead when found. I noticed metal pieces that was used to guide the turpentine into a bucket (not displayed). When the turpentine would stop producing the metal pieces would be shifted to a new scratch location man made via tool. Note all off the scratch marks over the years as this old tree produced turpentine. The reason they call this tree “Cat Face” is because it looks like the whiskers of a cat. I decided it would make a great piece of history art and turned into a Lamp.
