    Default ceratopetalum gummiferum christmas bush

    I have recently had to cut down a dead but very mature ceratopetalum gummiferum christmas bush (more like a tree) and was wondering if it is worth debarking and curing for future use. If yes, any advice would be appreciated. Largest log is 275-300mm in diameter and 1750mm long.

    No experience here with the timber. I haven't grown one big enough for that.
    But it's closely related to Coachwood (Ceratopetalum apetalum), so I think it's timber may be at the very least useful.
