The Spar Shop at the Historical Seaport has started a project to turn a new main mast for the schooner Zodiac. The upper photo shows the 117-foot log as it's trucked out of the forest, headed for the Seaport facility in Aberdeen. That's Kent Wall, our Spar Shop manager, in the foreground. The lower photo shows the mast as it's unloaded. Within the next few days, the Spar Shop team will load the log in our tracer lathe, North America's largest. And this log is the largest we've ever attempted to turn. Stay tuned for more photos as the project progresses.
