In this 1908 photo, a worker with the Kaul Lumber Company uses a tool called a "hack" to carve a "streak," or notch, into the side of a longleaf pine near Hollins, Clay County. This process was carried out over many weeks in the effort to extract sap, which was then turned into turpentine and other products..
