Speaking of the trees at The Hermitage, in 1998 a tornado came through there and took down several trees that were over 250 years old. A close family friend, Bruce Kunkel, is a master luthier and runs Gibson Guitars custom/historical department in Nashville. The trees were made into Gibson's "Old Hickory" limited edition. One is in the Smithsonian and the rest are sought after classics.

I didn't know that about the recycling of Mr. Jackson's trees. Thanks for sharing.
