The Old Mill

I just returned from The Old Mill at T.R. Pugh Memorial Park, North Little Rock, Arkansas....built in 1933, was featured in the opening scenes of Gone with the Wind, which was released in 1939.
Senor Dionicio Rodriguez designed the wood-like bridges, benches and structures throughout the park...better known today as “fake wood”.
This may be on my top ten list of places I have visited that are just plain fun to photograph.

What a great place to be with a camera!
You captured an excellent series that gives a good “sense of the place”!

So what is the "fake wood" actually made from?
Well, since you asked, here is what the brochure says.....”He(Rodriguez) was so secretive about the process by which he produced his work that no written plans or mixture formulas exist. His secret techniques, applied using ordinary kitchen implements, are so detailed and exacting that tree species are identifiable in most of his work.”
