I took some "poetic license" on this assignment because of the subject = "WOODS".
"The giant wooden slide in Rocky Ridge, Maryland, has a history rooted in community effort, beginning with an original slide built in 1925 by local volunteers. After being destroyed by fire in 1952, a new, larger slide was reconstructed by community members using local maple wood, and it has remained a landmark in Mount Tabor Park. The slide is 40 feet high, known for its speed, and is maintained by the church.
Original Construction (1925): The first slide was built in 1925 as part of the Mount Tabor Park, which was founded in 1921.
Destruction and Reconstruction (1952): The original slide was destroyed by a fire but was quickly rebuilt by local volunteers, including carpenters and community members.
New Slide (1952): The new slide was constructed with local maple wood and incorporated a covered bridge design. Volunteers mixed cement by hand and used local sawmills to process the wood.
Community Landmark: The rebuilt slide became a popular gathering spot and has been maintained by the community and Mount Tabor Church ever since." quoted
The original maple used in the "slide" was from locally grown, felled, milled maple wood. Over 100 maple trees were used in this slide. All maple is in the floor surface. The original floor was replaced with "maple wood flooring".The entire slide is made from hand hewn slabs of pine, oak, maple, popular woods. So I "played" with the "Woods".

The "blown highlights" in the right front corner were left that way to give the individual maple boards seperation and show that the wood had been "smoothed" down to a fine polished look.
