New Use of Old Materials
The piece of wood is from a stump of a longleaf pine? It is called a "catface" by locals. This came from Cheifland, Fl. & the sap from these trees was extracted by making v shaped cuts(you can see the scars) and catching the sap in the masonry cups I am using for orchid pots. The cups are hanging from the orirional nails pouned into the tree. The sap was collected & hauled to a distilling plant and made into turpentine. I am guessing the age of these items at about the early 1900's.
