If the old spar could talk, it would say ' Ahoy, I ain't no garden timber, put me back into the lake!" Hey, there's no spar like an old, square, double tapered, lake Winni orig wooden spar...
14' long? Wow I had no idea those things were that long. Still, kind of a neat thing to have. Some day it may be worth a few bucks....
