Thomas Jefferson planted wood

A work in progress. The wood is Tulip Popular and as i understand it, that was from the only tree that Thomas planted.
I will try to get photos of the guard. Lot of work to go.

 

Nice

 

Thomas Jefferson was a plantation owner, and renowned scientist, who dabbled in politics. He planted a lot of things; well, he had people (aka slaves) that did the actual work, but the gardens and orchards at his plantation, Monticello, was a giant science project devoted to the improvement of agriculture.

 

Amazing to lay eyes (even if a picture) on something like that. Thanks for sharing.

 

Where in the world did you come by that wood from Jefferson?

 

There used to be a guy that specialized in cutting and trimming historical trees. I bought quite a bit from him before he died.
But i have a lot of materials, say for instance for music lovers. I have a spike from the crossing where Robert Johnson supposedly sold his soul to the devil to be able to play the blues, and for the damascus i could use pure nickle from old disk in which the pressed orginial vinal records on. I have several of those old nickle master plates.

 

See above. I forgot to hit reply button

 

Thank you for sharing.

 

This is the front and back of the guard. More to go.

 

Look at this knife porn, How us po folks going to buy this over the mountain art work?
I'd have to stand on the corner with a sign reading,
Will suck dick for a Jerry Frisk knife!
Yall enjoy the mans talent!

 

That was funny.

 

My first thought was about the female slaves Jefferson had.
