Thread: Eucalyptus hollow form

  1. #1

    Eucalyptus hollow form

    Got a stuffy nose? Well, my shop is the place to be right now. I think I'll bag the shavings and spread some around every now and then. Eucalyptus burl HF, 6" tall by 5 1/2" diameter with only a light coat of Watco on the outside to pop the figure.

    Beeeautiful grain! And I really like the form. (To think that we used to chop up Eucalyptus and burn it! )

    Spinning is good on a lathe, not good in a Miata.

    That's some beautiful wood Travis.

    We used to burn eucalyptus when I lived in SoCal. Stuff burns so hot I had to buy a new grate every year.
