Sugar Gum milling

BobL · Nov 22, 2008

I know you guys like to see what trees we have access to in Australia,
This one is called Sugar Gum.
It's moderately hard but being such a small log (20" diameter) and about 8' long it was quite easy to slab up. Wood is really purdy!

Very nice looking wood. That will make some interesting furniture someday

I always look forward to your pictures. You do have different and very beautiful wood "down under". Thanks for sharing these pics and the many of your mill. :clap:

Took the words right out of my mouth... beautiful wood you have there, once again. Too bad that crotch in that last pic looks like it has a good bit of bark inclusion... but it wasn't all that large of a crotch anyway, and there is still some figure below it that looks clean.

Oh yeah - my thoughts exactly!

Yeah I too was hoping for less inclusion. The bark on these eucalypts is quite thick which probably didn't help.
