Sweetgum bowl

[SDB777]

Still in the working on it phase, but I thought someone might not burn that Sweetgum/Redgum log sitting there if they could see what is inside of it?!?!?

nice work. i think sweet gum is an underused wood for hobbiests.i find is turns/works nice and can have a vast array of colors and figures.plus it actually does have a sweet smell when worked.it also spalted easily.

Who knew the trees are junk but the wood is sweet. Reminds me of Boxelder trees/wood.

That's fantastic!!!!!

When visiting my folks in KY and going to a few of the artisan centers I was floored by the carved bowls.

Awesome craftsmanship.:msp_thumbup:

Ive always used "growths" off of maple trees. they seem alright but nothing compared to yours!
