Seguin ISD Maple
Salvaged from the old Seguin High School, Seguin ISD Maple begins its next chapter at Salt Shaker Woodworks.
The Story
When we bought our house here in Seguin, Texas, the seller was Mr. Laird, a retired chemistry teacher from the Seguin Independent School District (Seguin ISD). During the process we met a few times and visited about various things. When I mentioned that I was a woodworker and would be building my shop on the property, he smiled and told me he had something I might be interested in.
It turned out he had a stack of old maple and oak gym flooring that had come out of the old Seguin High School when it was torn down to make way for the new one. He wondered if I would like to have it so he wouldn’t have to move it. I, of course, said I’d be thrilled to have it — and I am. That’s how I came by Seguin ISD Maple, and why I chose that name — to honor both the source and the story carried in the wood.
