I am not too far and always wanted an excuse to go visit OWW. I hope they will let a Ky hillbillie in Indiana. Maybe I just won't tell them I live south of the river. ;)

I will need to enlist someone to take a few pics because I might be a tad busy.

Cedarman and myself made it there today. Cedarman got mixed up on the date ( don't know how that could of happened  ::)) , but he got the date corrected and made it there.
OWW was a great host and the Indiana Tree Farm Committe furnished a good lunch, but Cedarman had to leave early and missed it.
Here is a picture for Bibbyman to prove OWW does use his mill and it does get dirty.






Several of the large beech trees in the woods were hollow as shown by this fallen tree.





We found these mushrooms, are they editable? They are about six inches tall.





We saw this piece of machinery. What was it used for before it was parked under the large maple tree?

Together we got this !

Good pics.
The third one looks like a dump rake for windrowing mown hay.

Guess you could eat those 'shrooms and let us know (or not).

Glad you and Cedarman made it to OWW's...Bet it was a great day.

OWW trying to see the top of a tall poplar.




This was a large white oak that the foresters present thought probably would make veneer.





This is somewhat less than veneer beech.




I just couldn't believe a tree farmer would be spraying herbicide on a tree to kill it. He did explain the the Tree Of Heaven was highly invasive and not a very good tree.

I say whack em down
tyb525, the forester pointed out that if that type of tree is just cut new trees would  sprout from all of it.s roots. OWW does not like Tree of Heaven. OWW is a tree farmer, but I found out he does not hug all trees. ;D

Makes honey locust look tame in comparison!

What a day!  Good food, good weather, good people  8)

It was a real treat to show off the woods and having Pigman and Cedarman show up was major icing on the cake  :)

Bob, how did you get my belly to look so big in that pic  smiley_headscratch

The old implement is what is locally known as a jump rake.  A horse drawn implement used as beenthere describes.  Mr. Harris, the original owner of the property, parked that rake under a maple growing beside his hay field somewhere in the middle of the last century when he had finally done all the farming he could do.

Not sure why 'jump' would be locally picked as the name for 'dump'.  :) :)

But a search turns up 'dump rake' and not 'jump rake'.  And, sometimes translations get changed over time.

Mown hay was dragged across a field, until a foot pedal was stepped on, causing the curved tines holding the hay to raise up to dump the hay. Timed right, the hay would lay in a straight windrow for the loose hay loader to get it onto the wagon. I notice on the pic shown that there are metal fingers that keep the hay from raising up with the curved tines when dumped.

As a young lad, my brother and I would run one of these to get hay into windrows, but pulled by a tractor. Later we managed to get a side-delivery rake to do the job better.

The folks that populated this portion of the world at that time had a language all their own.  I suspect the term 'jump rake' came about for two reasons.  When the pedal was pushed to dump the hay the rake 'jumped'.  If the operator did not have the forsight to remove the tine directly behind the seat when the rake rose up that tine would smack the operator squarely in the derrier, causing the operator to 'jump'.

But then again, I could have just misunderstood the folks who told me it was a jump rake.  Mebbee they said dump rake and were usnig the aforementioned dialect.  :-\

I bet Faron could shed light on this dilemma.
