Details
The Grey Box Burl (Eucalyptus microcarpa) heartwood ranges from medium to dark brown. Pale blonde to yellow sapwood is sharply demarcated from heartwood. Grey Box trees are medium size hardwoods that predominantly grow in the temperate grasslands in central New South Wales through northern and central Victoria into South Australia. The Grey Box can be difficult to work but has excellent durability and strength.
- Vibrant color mixed with burl eyes and unique grain patterns
- Excellent for turning or carving one-of-a-kind bowls
- Due to the nature of wood movement, shrinkage and expansion are possible
Wood is a product of nature, and as such, no two pieces are alike to start with, while the same wood growing in different locales can vary greatly even though it is the exact same species.
