Thanks JW this has been on my list my whole life. I can remember as a kid reading about it and wanting to do it. Isaac is really into the process and he does the sap runs without even being ask.

Hey Matt there was a wind fall (white oak?) 24 plus tree on the ground from last year. I was thinking this might be a good shake tree? Sounds like an easy process.

Sounds like fun to me.........white oak also makes great Morris chairs :)
