EUCALYPTUS WOOD TREE FOR WOODTURNING,WOODWORKING | eBay

[Big J]

At least the lad is donating the proceeds to charity!

And Eucalyptus is great for woodturning apparently!

[tommer9]

Yeah thats cool- there just seem to be loads of people with eucs to be taken down on ebay recently lol!

[Rob D]

I expect they see others doing it and so think eucalyptus must therefore be a sought after timber..... you'll get me typing in eucalyptus now when I go on ebay!!

[tommer9]

Its quality stuff Rob:sneaky2:........you ever tried miling any? I did once, just for a giggle. It was a TOTAL waste of fuel and time. From this country it is just crap firewood at best that stuff.

[djbobbins]

Nah, it's not crap firewood - in fact I'd say it is very good, personally, having burned about 6 or 7 cubes of it over recent years.

 

The caveat on that is that it has got to be really well seasoned - it is crap firewood if you try to burn it any less than two years old. Give it three full summers, or more, and it is great stuff though - lights well, burns hot and when poked breaks down into a good solid bed of red ember which lasts for hours.

 

I'm not sure about the woodturning, I gave some of my euc to an old lad at work who does some turning but have never got around to asking him what it was like, and I've now moved office.
