A eucalypt burl...
when I bought my litle yellow lathe from a forum member 10 months ago, one if the extras that came with it was a waxed block, about 6" x 6" x 3". It was labeled "eucalypt burl" , it looked fascinating, but I did not think that I had the skills to make it work. It has been sitting on a shelf , just waiting, until today.
I think it was a pretty good piece of timber.
Sanded to 400, finished with Ubeaut friction polish and then some canuba wax.
The mrs. has claimed this and won't give it back.
