Treen is a term used to describe any of a number of small, utilitarian items made from wood.
Treen, literally means "from a tree" and can cover anything from carved kitchen ware such as spoons and porringers, to turned boxes and bowls.
Though the word has been out of general use for some time, it is returning and is particularly apt for the many small hand turned objects now being made.

Treen made it clear that his states' rights group was not affiliated with the National States' Rights Party, a group considered neo-Nazi, and, in Treen's words, "a disgrace to the term 'states rights.'" Treen's elector slate polled 169,572 ballots (21 percent) statewide.
Treen is a distant relative of Robert Arthur Clifford Treen, inventor of the MIDI BrightEye.

 Summary 'Treen og Keeil' Markstander, 1937
The term treen occurs in the Ballaugh Register of A. 1600 and is common in documents from the 17th to the 19th cent.
It is perfectly clear that many of these treens must have once possessed keeills, and also that some of them never have, because of their originating at a time when the decline of the keeill had set in and new keeills were no longer constructed.
That the treens in the Isle of Man were in Norwegian possession as early as 875 may be concluded from the fact that Gudrød Crovan in the year 1075 deprived the treen-owners of their Udal: but in Norway no udal could be acquired before the lapse of six generations.

Considering that Treen is an established figure in the district -- located just north of New Orleans -- and was on the congressional or gubernatorial ballot in the New Orleans area 10 times from 1962 through 1983, the fact that he only received 25 percent is an ominous sign for his chances on May 29.
The challenge for Treen is that the issues for which insiders hate Vitter tend to be fairly popular with voters.
Treen will have the endorsements and money, while Vitter has a better organization, ran a better campaign and enters the runoff with the momentum arrow up, not down.

 Treen
In fact treen is a very old word (the meaning is "of a tree") and according to my 1930s Shorter Oxford Dictionary was obsolete.
Most collectors would say definitely, yes it is; it displays one of the most important characteristics, a celebration of the material and of craftsmanship but to me the central intention is decorative so in my terms, it fails on the functional test.
Some parts have been superseded by other more specialist works (there can hardly be a more obvious area than tools and rules) and a proportion of the information is now seen to be inadequate or wrong, but such is the demand for the book that it now commands a substantial price in the second-hand market.

 Treens
The boundaries of some earlier, contiguous, treens are conjectured to have lost as they were merged on becoming Abbeylands (ie paying rent to Rushen Abbey) prior to 1511.
Davies points out that the treen boundaries tend to follow natural boundaries such as streams or paths which later became roads; and that the boundaries marked by hedges or stonewalls are older than the field divisions within them.
In most sheadings the one keeill per treen holds good once allowance is made for possible later splittings of older treens, though Scarclowte (Scarlett) treen in Malew would appear to have 4 keeills (though one is associated with Castle Desmene, with three on the coastline).

 Sadow - Treen Part Deaux
Dave Treen, the state's first post-Reconstruction Republican governor, recently announced that at age 76 (by the time he could get inaugurated) he wished to reenter the office he held 19 years ago.
Yet a Treen candidacy could be desirable if he learned from his past mistakes that led to his routing out of office by a rested, relaxed, ready-to-go (and richer) Edwards.
It's as if Treen has forgotten his slashing and burning through state spending of 20 years ago, now throwing up his hands in defeat and joining a chorus of (mostly Democratic) tax-raisers, at precisely the time where evidence continues to mount that wretched inefficiency in Louisiana's spending habits are the real budgetary problem.

 Collector Cafe - Register
Some say size matters: treen must be as small as a bobbin, Welsh love spoon, grain measure, sewing egg, tea caddy, nutcracker, fruit or mixing bowl, breadboard, butter pat, smoking or snuff related knick-knack, card box, love token or paper knife.
Treen is also exquisitely tactile - a rich patina suggests years of handling, personalisation through use - and some collectors buy nothing but palm size, hand-turned or carved pieces to use as harmless therapy, rather as certain collectors of glass paperweights are known to do, the late Truman Capote being one.
Most treen can be picked up for small change, though something like a wassail bowl made of lignum vitae - a hardwood tree large and close grained enough to yield a bowl well over a foot across - can make hundreds of pounds at an upmarket furniture auction.

 Burk Foster's Site / Louisiana / Pardon Me Governor
When Treen signed ten pardons and commutations, on December 23, 1982, nearing the end of his third year in office, the signings were announced as important news and the background of each case was summarized.(33) There was a follow-up article the next day, clarifying the total number of pardons Treen had issued.
Treen did not want these included in the total, since he had no choice in signing them.(34) That he would take the time to set straight such a trivial matter as how the twelve pardons were counted said something important about Dave Treen's character: he was not one to lose count.
Treen accused Edwards of making a deliberate effort to confuse and mislead the public--as with Edwards' statement that pardons were used mostly to restore citizenship rights and hunting privileges.

Treen has been a fixture in Louisiana politics for almost 40 years -- indeed, Livingston and many other Republican activists in the state have long seen Treen as something of a mentor.
Similar results were found in a Wirthlin Worldwide survey taken March 22-25 of 400 likely voters that gave Treen 26 percent and Monica and Vitter tied at 16 percent each, with Strain fourth with 13 percent, Duke fifth with eight percent and Couhig sixth with six percent.
Backers argued that Treen knows Congress and would hit the ground running, but critics point out that Congress has changed so much that his perspective would be of little benefit.

Almost unconsciously, the bald, mustachioed Treen began dispensing workplace wisdom to younger colleagues, passing along tips, mediating disputes and serving as schmooze central.
In the process, he acquired the unofficial title of "tribal elder." That tag was bestowed on Treen last year by UCLA management professor Karen Stephenson, who as part of a consulting project was analyzing the TRW unit's social networks.
Treen's transformation from insensitive but respected boss to compassionate leader began in the early 1990s, as TRW was grappling with the fallout from massive government defense cutbacks.
