can you smoke blue gum?

my grandfather is into making "adirondack" furniture. he uses alot of stick that have been chewed by beaver as well as lumber he has sawed .unless thats one of the last trees of its kind it wouldnt be worth it to me but...someone with a large wallet and no conscience may snatch it right up. you just have to get it out there to be seen by as many as possible. must admit...it is perdy!
