- A Turpentine Farm--Dippers and Chippers at Work, Savannah, Ga., U.S.A., 1904 - Pine sap (called resin) was the raw ingredient for numerous industrial products including turpentine and rosin. The process started with physically demanding labor in long-leaf pine forests, as depicted in this stereograph. Individuals "hacked" away bark to channel the sap into a container. Others strained it and stored it in barrels for shipment to market.

- Tapping Pine Trees for Turpentine, circa 1926 - 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.
