    Default redgum????

    I picked this some time ago from where I cant remember and it was marked redgum. Smelled like it and turned some what like it as well. But all my redgum has been a bit redder than this.

    Stands 6.5" tall by 4" dia Finished with DO or 15.5cm x 10cm

    Yes. Not very red is it. I have had pretty light red gum, but not that light. Nice piece anyway.

    You are getting a handle on these spiral form Hughie. Looks good. Can't help you with the I.D. there isn't much red gum up this way.

    Nice looking piece Hughie Keep going and you'll be cutting threads on them before long
    Nothing like any Redgum I've come across . . but the yanks call Liquidambar Redgum or Sweetgum - could it be a chunk of that

    Hughie, as always a great looking piece.

    Are you dreaming of these spirals yet, they seem to have taken over your waking hours.

    As for Redgum, don't have any of that over here so I can't say either way what it is.

    What a beautiful job Hughie. I'm envious but can't help with the timber, although it looks great.
    Look forward to catching up soon.
    Cheers

    Hughie, I think that is a classy piece, up there with the likes of Liam Flynn. Like Liam you have great form and the spirals seem to be signature pieces.
