Small coin/key bowl-what timber is it?
I turned this coin/key bowl (140x35 mm) as a gift when told don't bring anything....at least it will last longer than chocolates!
The timber blank was unidentified and in my research the best I can come up is Silvertop Ash (Eucalyptus sieberi) although the distinctive grain has thrown me a bit. Can anyone confirm my research or otherwise.
On checking TTIT eggs I can find Silvertop burl but no reference to sawn stock.
Cheers
Kerry

Thanks Dave, actually have a project on the workbench at the moment in white cedar and yes it can be difficult to turn. The bowl that I have just finished was great to turn requiring very little sanding with even density and weight and a lot heavier than white cedar.
