About This Item

Spile

What is this funny thing? It's a SPILE. Spiles are used to tap sap out of a maple tree to make maple syrup. A hole is drilled into the tree and the small pointed end of the spile is hammered into the hole. The spout faces outward and a bucket is hung onto the spile to catch the sap as it drips out.

Picked this up out of Big Red while working on a 7 stage multi in Oregon's La Pine State Park - I was wondering what it was... now I know.

Since there were no pancakes available, I placed it in the final on the multi I was working on... ~ GG

Found at the beach...far from Vermont on the Oregon coast. Will take a picture with a batch of pancakes soon. Thanks for the interesting facts on the spile.
