A few months ago, FrepP had a sweetgum felled and offered it to anyone who wanted some. ScottM got some for him and also some for me (thanks Scott). I roughed turned a couple of bowls in early March and did the finish turning a few days ago on one of them. I put 1 coat of BLO on this one and will finish it with a coat of wax. This is nothing special but wanted Fred to know that some of the gum won't end up as firewood.
