This eucalyptus 'ghost gum' was planted in the 1980s and has fallen in my garden. It has been affected by a fungus. Is it useable for furniture or turning?
Thanks

Just seen you are in Reading. Do you have a mill? If not, I can bring my saw and mill and we could have a go at processing some if you wanted? What is the maximum diameter?This eucalyptus 'ghost gum' was planted in the 1980s and has fallen in my garden. It has been affected by a fungus. Is it useable for furniture or turning?

Eucalyptus is fun to turn, but moves an awful lot. It will split horribly if you try to dry thick blanks whole, but if turned wet, they warp like crazy. I can try and find a picture of a eucalyptus bowl I have made. The top started flat and ended up really curved. I think the colour is great too.
