One of my wife's relatives shipped me 5 flat rate boxes of eucalyptus because when we were in California a few years ago I made comments about wishing I had my chain saw with me. Unfortunately they are slices through the trunk not cut along the grain as I would cut for a bowl blank. They are cracking on the edges. So far no cracks in the center. She did paint thick coats of latex on both ends. I cut a 5 1/2 inch cube and turned a three corner bowl. Very wet still but turned beautifully. So how about some ideas on what to turn with round slices through the trunk other than small boxes or pen blanks. I am going to try one larger bowl turned spindle orientation, just to see what happens as it dries. I would appreciate ideas on how to use this wood.
