We have just received another spectacular shipment of turning woods from Tasmania (Australia). The same cutter we have been working with for over 15 years did these. In all honesty I can say that in all cases the wood in this shipment is the best that it gets-over the top spectacular.

Brown Eucalyptus Burl (E. oblique) This is one of finest burls for turning found in Australia. This has dense burl eyes set against a marble cake swirl of brown, tan, white, and black. Each burl piece is unique. There isn’t a weak piece here. The sizes available are all over the place; blocks are usually 3” to 4” thick 6” X 6” to 15” X 15”. There are squares of random lengths from 2” X 2” to 4” X 4”. We will attempt to pick pieces as close as possible to your request.

Tasmanian Pinkwood Burl & Fiddleback Figure. (Nothofagus cuninghamii) This wood is endemic to Tasmania. From a botanical point it is one of the first deciduous (hardwood) trees to populate the earth. The color of
this wood varies from red to pink with lighter swirling colors.
Sizes similar to Brown Eucalyptus Burl. An intense eye burl with other unusual figures
mixed in such as croth and compression curl. Loaded with all types
of eyes and figure. The Fiddleback Figure. An intense roll over curl that looks 3D when turned and finished.
