    No idea what is this, but looks very nice! I wonder if it will crack badly after drying, as some (most?) Eucs do.

    These pieces are dry and they didn't misbehave too much during their time seasoning.A little twisting but nothing dramatic.Will be quarter sawing the Butt soon so will post more pics!The Butt log surface has a very interesting patina too.The timber machines like butter which surprised me as i thought it would have been much firmer.And the figure is dramatic! Glad you like the pics Ilya...MM
