1850's farm shot

[SSNLO]

I was out at the family farm putting in a garden for my grandpa and i have always been fascinated by this.... my great grandfather placed this syth (sp) in the fork of a tree about 60 years ago and then nature took its coarse... apparently he had forgotten about it..

Must be a "hard wood"

Neat.

On our place we had an old shed that one of the ancestors left a steel wagon wheel leaning against the shed. A tree grew up through the middle of the steel wheel. Pretty neat to see a 40' tree with a steel wagon wheel around the base.
