Eucalyptus Goblet

Hi Jim.

Nice piece of Eucalyptus . Has it been growing locally? I know there is a lot of Eucalyptus growing in California and was wondering if it has found its way to other areas of North America?

The Goblet looks good. Very sturdy base on it. Danish Oil always works well too.

Picture 2 was interesting…the goblet could also be presented as a small stand for a small bowl to sit on top.

Great Project Jim.

Regards,

Cliff.

Dig the Euc, Jim. Gorgeous wood. Hard as a rock. Hard on tools. Did it turn your hands black?

Very nice Jim, great wood to play with.

Very nice. I’m using eucalyptus a lot, just because it is the cheapest wood around here in the middle of Portugal.Not that easy to work with! Impressive turning.

Interesting piece Jim, Like the others have said, hard but lovely timber.
Over here we are spoiled with about 800 different species of Eucalyptus, all colours and patterns in the grain.
Great job Mate,

Bob

-- Bob, Western Australia, The Sun came up this morning, what a great start to the day. Now it's up to me to make it even better. I've cut this piece of wood 4 times and it's still too damn short.

Looks great Jim, I really like the live edge trim on the bottom. I have never worked with Eucalyptus but I’ve heard it can be difficult to work with. Great work!

Very nice looking Mr. Jim. I love the shape of it

-- Just trying to build something beautiful

Looks great Jim! Like the shape!

That’s a beauty, Jim!

I was wondering how you mounted the “natural edge” end on the lathe- glue to waste block??

Well done. Nice finish.

nicely done, looks like you don’t have any snow there, A bumper year here, may make 4 feet yet, not that it is that desirable.

The grain in that piece of eucalyptus wood is beautiful. You did it justice Jim.
