Eucalyptus Burl
Sausage Software HotDog PageWiz Characteristics: These exotic Eucalyptus Burls are one of the finest burls for turning. They grow as large Basal Burls of several thousand pounds. The dense burl eyes set against a spectacular lacy effect of brown, tan, white and black produces a greatly sought after wood for turners. Sizes vary from 3" to 4" thick to 6"x6" to 15"x15". All of our Eucalyptus Burls are cut into squares and rectangles. We will attempt to pick pieces as close as possible to your request. Due to large dimensions and rarity, all burl blanks are green unless specified.
Common Uses: Our highly figured Eucalyptus Burls are perfect for wood turners who are looking to create an eye catching finished project. Sharp tools are a must. The burl glues easily and takes a great polish.
Working Properties: Like most burls, the Eucalyptus (referred to as Tasmanian) are used mostly for turnery and fine veneer work.
