Hey guys
I hope this is the best section to talk about this. I am curious, I am wondering what happened to Lyptus. 5 years ago my wood working turned more to boat building and I stopped having a need for lyptus. When I tried to find cost and availability I found that really no one had it to speak of. Not even Hearns. I saw some decking being sold. It was a wood that was suppose to help reduce pressure on mahogany and was developed by Weyerhaeuser. It is a hybrid of two species and man made/develped
It was suppose to typically be harvested in 20 years. Anyway the last thing I was hearing before things changed for me was that the nice dark relish color was hard to get and only in thin widths. The pictures of the console is something I built out of the rare figured boards that I had collected and "culled" out when I was building stock furniture for a gallery. The bench is the lighter pinkish color without finish on it. Note the top is maple not lyptus. Anyway what I am wondering what does anyone know what happened to it. Does anyone have an affection for it? How about for the figured Lyptus lumber? thanks
