Using Elm and Sycamore for Projects
I recently used some elm harvested out of a tree, which was cut down a
couple of years ago, to turn some feet for a buffet I made for my wife. The reason for using elm was because I could not find a piece of maple in the size needed. I was pleasantly surprized how nicely the elm turned in my lathe and how nicely it stained. Has anybody else used elm for their project needs? Also having an abundance of sycamore on my property, I'd be interested to know if any of you woodworkers could share your experiences using either sycamore or elm for your projects. Doug |
