    Sweet Gum

    Today I started slicing up the sweet gum logs FredP gave me. Both the trees are white and mineral streaked walnut color. I've cut a lot of different species of logs and I must say these two particular sweet gums are amongst the best for appearance. And no the lumber is not forsale - I'm going to...

    Gum as a secondary wood?

    Just found a source of kiln dry gum for $1.00 per bf. Will be used for drawer bottoms and backs. Also other secondary wood needs. This is a 20 minute drive. Anything else is about $2.50 per bf when I add in fuel or shipping. Anyone ever use gum and if so how did it work out?

    Source for sweet/red gum?

    Can anyone suggest a source for dried sweet/red gum near Raleigh? Given the number of these trees in my yard and the sweet gum balls I've stepped on bare foot in my life, I would have thought finding a local source would easier than it has been so far.
