I never cut sweetgum before so naturally I got the biggest sweetgum log I could find. It was a real surprise what I found inside.

I suspect that tree had another leader form at some point and they grew together. Great to see milling content, especially stuff I'll never get to mill.

This log made me think of a curse a friend used to use: "May your limbs grow together." I think this tree was cursed... Did you see how its icewater came pouring out when he turned the log?

I worked some gum as a cabinetmaker back in the 70’s. Gum, cotton wood and poplar are very similar.

At least the ice cooled the blade. 😁 You sounded surprised that your sister had an idea that actually worked 🤣

I had my doubts about the brush.

I can't get no respect...😜 The wire brush worked better than the decrepit broom, at least. I used a metallic marker and wrote "blade saver" on the handle...I think he should burn that on the signboard, then attach pegs or something to hold the brush. Maybe epoxy in an MCS sticker. Yes, George - steaks on the grill ...in April, during the eclipse.

Hey George, that was not a crotch; that was two trees that grew into one. you should have slabbed it from the other direction. That joint down the center will never stay together once the wood starts drying.

yea, figured that out once I started sawing into it... oh well.

I have two of those in my backyard that I'd love to give you if you wern't so far away. I hate the mess they make every year.
