    350 BF Sweet Gum

    About 2 years ago FredP gave me some big sweet gum trees he had taken down out of his yard. Not being shy about free logs especially when they are large diameter. We loaded them on my trailer and I brought them back here and sawed them up on the wood mizer. They have been on sticks under my lean...

    Sweet Gum Anyone?

    I will be bringing down a sweet gum tree in the near future. I seem to remember hearing that it was good for turning, so I thought I would offer. The tree splits into two trunks, each about 10 inches diameter. There is a crotch section near the ground where it splits. If anyone is...

    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...

    The dark side, the sweet side

    I just finished watching Alan Lacer's skew video "The dark side, The sweet side" This man is truly a magician with a skew. Picked up some helpful tips to try tomorrow in the shop. I will probably watch this video many, many times. Well worth purchasing.

    Seems like a sweet deal on PM2000!

    Home Sweet Home

    Hi Everybody, I Just got my mill home and under it's building again. I did mobile for awhile and it's fun, but too much setup and breakdown for my likings.
