Spalted Sweetgum

[Lee K]

Here's some spalted sweetgum that I had gotten from Gary Beasley!

Very nice grain pattern, IMO. I used Russell Eatons new CA finish (well, at least the one he demo'd at the GA meeting) and it finished smooth and quick!

Comments/critiques welcome!

And I cut that tree down!!!!! Looks sharp! Good kit for that blank, too!

Great character, I like what you did with it.

Thanks!
The small photo doesnt do it justice

The spalting has such unique coloring, it had some bug holes that I have to level w/ thick CA up towards the top.

I still have some more that I will put on a component set sometime soon!

Thanks again Gary (and Alan...) :biggrin:

Very nice pen and wood. I really like the executive pen.

That is the most beautiful piece of a miserable wood I have ever seen. Those darned Sweetgum pods are a misery to bare footed people.
