067 Wood Part I - Money in Masts & Barrels

Wood! It is back, and now it's worth money.<br /><br />You get to hear about how the iron industry wrecked English wood stocks, the King's Broad Arrow, crusty New Hampshire-ians & the Pine Tree Riot, fancy woodworking and just how there were so many MANY barrels rolling around the New World. Oh and how you can date pictures approximately by looking at the hoops on barrels. <br /><br />This week the blog will also have really pretty pictures of marquetry - that is - fancy wood inlay. <br /><br />Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor Turtle<br />Show Notes: <a href="https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/" rel="noopener">https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/</a><br />Email: <a href="mailto:TheHistoryofAmericanFood@gmail.com">TheHistoryofAmericanFood@gmail.com</a> <br />Twitter: @THoAFood<br />Instagram: @THoAFood
