Tapping Pine Trees for Turpentine, circa 1926
THF624671 / Tapping Pine Trees for Turpentine, circa 1926
01
Artifact Overview
Harvesting pine sap (resin) required physical labor and used techniques that weakened the pine trees. The individual in this stereograph "hacked" away bark to channel the sap into a container. Others collected the resin, strained it, stored it in barrels, and transported those to market for processing. The distilled sap yielded turpentine and rosin, essential ingredients in several industrial products.
