Men collect resin from pine tree
Photographer
Likely, Mark Jefferson
Description
Photograph of two workers placing a new sap collection plate in a pine tree. Pine trees are tapped for their resin which is later processed into turpentine, a widely-used chemical solvent. One worker holds the chipping device. The other hits it into the tree to create the pattern for the resin to run down into the collection plate. A forest of pine trees can be seen in the background.
