I was wondering aimlessly through a scrap log dump (story of my life) and couldn't find anything worth bringing home (i know, i know...) so just to get my chainsaw running ( a new stihl) i decided to cut into a cool log just to see how it cut, when to my amazement, the chainsaw started spewing out red shavings! i cut me a couple slabs and though it might be able to make some awesome things out of it so i have 3 or 4 foot square slabs hanging out in my back yard now. so here are my questions... 1. Is sycamore a regularly occuring wood elsewhere cause i sure haven't seen many trees that look like some guy spray painted the tree camo... 2. is it normal for sycamore to be red??? and 3. Will this red color last? I know things like aromatic cedar looses some of its color over time so I'm just wondering if is worth making a pen out of...
