I have been asked to make a tough outdoor table which will not be under any cover from the elements. The timber for the top is from a slab of Paperbark with the highlight color being Queensland Maple. Next will be breadboard ends. -- "These are my principles.

Seems like a great project underway. Didn’t realize paperbark had such a nice grain.

Yes it’s very nice. It should come up really pretty when I hit with some Osmo.

Nice start, David. I’m not familiar with paperbark. It must be a good outdoor wood like cedar.
You have so many species there that it amazes me!! I know there are 800 varieties of Eucalyptus in Australia.
cheers, Jim

Hi Jim,
It is a very dense and hard wood that is supposed to be good for outdoor use like fence posts etc so I am hoping it does just as well in a table open to all weather conditions.
I wouldn’t call it a timber that has natural beauty as it does have a tendency to have cracks and is a bit brittle too so my slab is quite thick and I will have to put a few butterflies in some cracks that are there.
Here is a link to the tree, it is a very useful tree but can be a pest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melaleuca_quinquenervia
