[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1426743, member: 4362"] That's pretty neat. We used to have a lot of those "peckerwood" mills scattered around. Just out of curiosity, is the sawdust pile still there? You can still find them scattered in the woods here. They don't seem to rot and don't seem to burn. I knew an old man who told me his grandfather bought a farm sometime around 1910 and when WW1 broke he sold three trees to Navy for a dollar a foot and trees paid off his land. All his grandfather had to do was drag them to the road - which I imagine was a job. Land here was cheap and many viewed it as a tax liability because a family couldn't work about 40 acres and anything more seemed inefficient. There is a land lot next to my house that was traded for a shotgun and everyone thought the man was crazy. [/QUOTE]
