  • The beauty inside is incredible, and the hidden famous face quite a surprise!
    This big chunk of Sweetgum was sent to me by Uncle Moe. Working with it on the lathe was an absolute pleasure. Truly one of my new favorite wood species to turn.
    I received a bit more Sweetgum recently from Rob, and you'll see it soon as well, if all goes as planned.
    I want to thank all of my subscribers, old and new! I appreciate you helping my channel grow, and I plan to keep the content coming strong.
    If you're new to my channel, it's mostly wood turning, but I carve, burn, and build other things as well, just to keep things fresh... and because I love woodworking! ...and occasional pumpkin carving...
    I enjoy showing you what my subscribers make as well! There is so much talent in this audience!! It one of my ways of thanking you.
    My email is rhumphrey.woodworking@gmail.com If you write, I'll answer, but it may take some time. If you have pics of your work you want me to show, email them to me and make sure to give me permission to do so, or I wont.

    Thanks for turning some Sweetgum. I had gotten some very large pieces from a tree service. They had taken the neighbors dead tree down last year. I asked for some and they piled everything I wanted into their front loader and delivered to my pile. Now I know what to expect from that incredible wood grain. Now, all I need to do is get the wood chips out of my face, hair, and eyes. Then cut up some Sweetgum bowl blanks. God bless you brother, keep turning.

    Kintsugi is the japanese technique/philosophy to repair broken pottery with laquer mixed with powdered gold. The goal is not to hide the crack, but to display it, as the cracks are part of the object's history.
    Your mending of the crack in the wood reminded me of this =)

    Good evening Rod,
    This bowl is beautiful. In my millwork days, I saw very little of sweet gum. Once, while in a custom cabinet company, I saw severalsheets of both 1/4" and 3/4" sweet gum plywood for a custom cabinet job the company was making. They were outstanding. Unfortunately, I never saw the completed product.
    Have a tremendous weekend as you worship the LORD on Sunday.

    Rod, you weren't kidding when you told me how it turned out. I'm sure now it won't be your last sweet gum piece you work on (wink, wink). I really like the creative choice, with the outer band and the slight inward curved outside. That bowl will be a special gift for someone and something passed down for generations.

      Sweet gum is a southern wood. They are (or were) all over central Florida. The developers can't bulldoze the trees fast enough so who knows how long the old ones will be around. You can still find them in areas that aren't developed yet or areas that are protected. They get really large. I milled one that had blown down in a hurricane a few years ago. It was 36 inches across.
