I think I have everyone covered, if I left anyone off, I apologize and just shoot me a PM

Thanks again!

Eucalyptus is my favorite tree Torq. Please DO IT!!!!!!!

 

[Torqueguy]

Imeo
Eucalyptus it is. Since you are a wood lover, I thought I'd show you some Eucalyptus Burl

This is what a burl looks like. It's actually a growth that grows away from the main tree trunk. It develops naturally when the tree develops a sort of infection. This "infection" causes the grain of the wood to distort, causing those beautiful swirl patterns.

Here's a sample of not my work but what Eucalyptus Burl looks like when its finished and polished

One more

Dear Torque if it's not too late and you have some spare please would you change to eucalyptus burl? It looks AWESOME! That is exactly the nuance i was looking for
Only if it's not too late and you have some spares! I love Amboyna too

I'm already working on this batch and should be ready in a few weeks.

torq, I thought eucalyptus was whiter, thats how I remember the tree. So I would like to ask you from those pictures I posted, what kind of wood are:

2nd picture - the second wood from the 2 front woods (counting from left to right)

3rd picture

4th picture - first, third and fifth wood

is there an eucalyptus in the last picture?

Thanks a lot buddy

 

[somopoppy]

I don't have a picture of the Eucalyptus yet but hope to have a picture maybe tonight. No worries, we'll get you a nice light wood.

 

[Torqueguy]

You have good taste Somo, that Olive is spectacular.

 

[imeothanasis]

The lightest wood of all would be the perfect wood for me torq

 

[Torqueguy]
