About This Item

TB has a piece of American Chestnut wood attached to it. This rot resistant wood was once one of the most common trees in the Eastern U.S. It was used for fence posts, railroad ties, building materials and furniture. The wood looks a lot like Oak but has a mellow reddish brown color. It was almost destroyed by blight in the early 1900's and ceased to be available as commercial lumber by about 1920.

    I have always had an interest in the American Heritage. It doesn't matter if it is wood, animals, or simply historical items. This tb is really interesting to me, so I grabbed it.
