Hack, Turpentine Production
notes: label: Description
content: This hack was donated to the museum by the U.S. Forest Service of the Florida National Forest service alongside other products to illustrate the process of turpentine production, or the distillation of resin harvested from living trees. Hacks are utilized by chipping the tree to make streaks to induce resin flow during the first and second seasons of turpentine production. Turpentine production is vital to assess the heath of trees from which the resin is harvested and produce such resin for chemical compounds, medicinal uses, and industrial applications.
