About this lot
Gum bumelia (Sideroxylon lanuginosum), also called chittamwood or gum elastic, is a small native Texas tree that rarely yields lumber. The wood is very hard and dense, in the same hardness range as Bois d’arc.
Condition, please read: rough-sawn and still air-drying. Checks and cracks are visible in the end grain and on the faces (see photos). Sold as-is; inspect at pickup before paying.
Can be resawn to suit.
The thin board is about three quarters of an inch.
Moisture: 14.8% on a Wagner pinless meter, measured Oct 21, 2026.
$125 for the set of 3 (sold as a batch only), as-is. Local pickup at our Frankston sawmill or a meetup in Tyler; sales tax applies. Cut on our Frankston sawmill.
