LOSSES PAID ADJUSTMENTS MADE Donegal Mutual Insurance Company ROUTE no. 441 BY-PASS MARIETTA, PENNSYLVANIA 1754] June 14, 1978 ...Barry McFarland (continued) [continued from front page] after high school, and then worked as a machinist for five years. His first job at Donegal was teaching me- tal shop, not wood. But | wood is what he’s into now. Barry takes a visitor around his three outbuild- £4 ings. In the first is a lathe, & = a saw, and many pieces of wood of various species and sizes. In the next shed are another saw, a disman- tled planner, and much more wood. In the third shed are fewer tools and a huge supply of wood. “I'm a wood collector,” Barry says. He shows off | some of his planks and slabs; such as a two-foot wide plank of sugar pine. “I'm glad I bought this,” he says..‘‘A toy manu- facturer almost got it. He would have cut it up into tiny pieces for toys.” The idea of cutting these rare specimens into small blocks makes Barry shake his head. ““This is a piece of Osage Orange,’’ he tells his visitor, laying his hand on a large flitch. He smiles. “I've got the market on Osage Orange cornered.”’ 8 Dad might not feel too bad if you forget Father’s Day 4 But wouldn’t he feel great if you remembered? great gift wrapping free! Heineman's would like to help. ( Father's Day is sunday, june 18th) In the largest shed are | tons of Osage Orange planks. ‘‘Usually you let a piece of wood season a year to the inch,” he explains, ‘‘But Orange is so hard that you can hardly cut it at that point. This piece is about 3 inches thick, but I'll only season it for two years; that way I'll be able to work it.”’ Osage Orange is consi- dered a nuisance tree, he explains, but, despite hav- ing no commercial value, it is one of the strongest woods known. In the old days it was used for applications as‘ mooring - bits for yachts. ¥ Barry has one flitch of NL Osage Orange which is extremely wide—about 20 inches. The trees usually don’t grow big enough to make a piece that wide. “‘I don’t want to drill holes in it,”’ Barry says, ‘‘and I don’t want to put nails in it, I don’t want to put dowls in it, and I don’t want to put screws in it. I don’t know what I'm going to do with it.”’ aE Lancaster County’s Newest Expertly selected cuisine for your elegant EVENINGS BY RESERVATION ONLY. dining in the Catacombs, 40 feet below street level, FRIDAY & SATURDAY SPECIAL PARTIES ALSO INVITED.
