Lyptus Lumber what do you know?

[John K Jordan]

The place where I buy hardwood had a lot of Lyptus some years ago and then it disappeared. I never used it but would like to have it as an option.

I’ve used dry lyptus on the lathe - wonderfully hard, nice surface, good color. Sharp tools required. I wish I had some more, 8/4+.

Lyptus wasn't making enough money so they decided to turn it into wood pulp, Red Grandis is the replacement

If you have any 8/4 at least 7-8” wide you want to sell, even short pieces, maybe advertise off Classifieds here!

What I heard was that they couldn't get commercial users interested enough to support the business. I had one piece and thought it was fine to work with.

I can see that. For a long time now commercially made furniture has used blonde woods almost exclusively.

I visited a woodworker in the foothills of the northern Italian mountains who had been making furniture for homes and offices for decades. He showed me a stack of his favorite photo album pages over a foot high! Almost every thing he made was pine, natural color. Everyone wanted pine.
