John Deere Day at the Steam Threshers Show

The Miami Valley Steam Threshers has a show every year in Plain City, OH. I've always wanted to go. It was pretty neat. I was especially fascinated with watching a team of workers use a steam powered machine to make hardwood veneer for furniture. They even gave me an entire role to bring home. It's basswood and I'm hoping to make baskets out of it.

You can see the hardwood log on the machine in this photo.

Its John Deere Day-Kirk even got a new hat.

Here's one you don't see very often.
