JF Wilcox. J.F. Wilcox of Ludowici began working in the turpentine woods as a ten-year-old along side his father. He learned to chip boxes the old way, cutting a cavity into the tree itself rather than tacking cups to the bark for the collection of pine gum. Mr. Wilcox would remain a turpentine hand until he turned seventeen and became a truck driver. He would eventually return to turpentine, but only for a brief period of time before leaving the industry once and for all. Photo by Tim Prizer, 2004. sca-2004-6-030 https://flic.kr/p/V9r5ot
