Default Sweetgum gloat

This afternoon a tree cutter brought me 58 sections of sweetgum, 18
inches long and 12-20 inches diameter. I stood them on end and sealed
one end already. Tomorrow another friend with a band mill is going to
rip the pith out of them.

I hate to see this stuff go in a land fill, but what am I going to do
with over a hundred bowl blanks? The ones I cut in January are just
ready for finish turning. I need a larger drying shed.


Hmmm.... I think this goes under the category of what my dad called "Crying all
the way to the bank"..
