cooking pitch

mullet:
  Pappy, That's how turpentine was harvested down here for years. Slash Pines were,,"slashed"in a V shape and a clay pot with a hole was stuck on a nail at the bottom of a tin funnel nailed into the tree. I'll get a picture up of one of the old, turn of the century pots. We still find them in the swamps with resin in them.

recurve shooter:
wow. thats pretty cool mullet.

mullet:
 Here it is. That's my bstick of resin in front of it.

Eddie, I've got one of those old pitch pots around here somewhere.

mullet:
 They are hard to find down here in one piece. But I have a friend that has about 60 of them.
