And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
My father called that type of wood "spaulted" as in spaulted elm or spaulted maple. He kept his eyes open for wood like this when he was hiking. He made a bunch of beautiful turnings out of this stuff on his lathe.

ReplyDeleteI have a set of spalted maple grips on my Ruger Blackhawk. They're resin impregnated and drop dead gorgeous.
