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 bring the lumber home stick it to air dry it and board and batten the inside of the shop. I know this thread is worthless with out pics... But hey I just wanted to let you guys know that gum is some sweet looking wood.
