    Default Wood identificaton again

    My wood knowledge as we know by now is limited but growing. I have started playing with this burl, heavy in sap in hope of making a platter. Already the neighbours are interested in it (watching and laughing with beers while I duck the flying bits). At first I thought possible eucalypt but it has no smell, it is very hard so I am guessing some kind of gum?

    Any advances on undescribed gum as a species?

    Thanks

    Looks like some kind of Euc.

    I've seen Red Gum with a similar look to it.

    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    I have a similar burl which was given to me its quite soft in places and breaks away easy where the gum/resin is. I made a pen which I soaked thin CA into the blank even before drilling.



    My own personal pen.

    I still have two pieces for bowls which I am considering soaking in resin/epoxy first as even when using the BS to cut it it was falling a part.

    In my opinion, it is either Redgum Burl, or Salmon Gum
    My 2cents

    IMHO it is blackbutt - same texture as (3) platters tha tI have just finished. Nearlyridentical actually. I think Greg Ward would confirm as I obtained them from his sources. Hope that helps, John M.
