Sweetgum gloat
Turn them, dry them sell them, though I admit I have a similar problem. I
get green wood then rough turn. I have to start finnishing more of my
roughouts and sell, donate give away or I am going to runout of space!

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.
