WA species pens

[BlackbuttWA]

Turned a couple of Leptospermum spinescums (Tea Tree), the smell of the oil while turning was beautiful, and fairly strong.

Very nice you have done well.:2tsup::2tsup:
I have not turned tea tree yet but the piece I have is lot more red than that I wonder if they are different species:rolleyes:

[BlackbuttWA]

G'day RP, Possibly, as not many species are endemic to WA. Most have been " imported "from over East, & there are hundreds of species if you include hybrids. Col

Great looking timbers!
The plating's you used complement the light timber color.
Well done.
