Woodturning - The Youthful Eucalyptus
In this video we decided to have a go at some freshly cut Eucalyptus, it had only been cut down a couple of days prior so this was more of an experiment to see how Eucalyptus with 70%+ moisture content would hold up after being turned.. safe to say it's cracking and warping a little as expected!

Hi Ian, you can turn wet wood just the same as dried wood, the only difference will be when the wood dries out you may get splitting. So simple and yet elegant a Eucalyptus pewter. Thanks for sharing

At 5:00 are you working on the wrong side of the bowl? Or is the lathe running in reverse? Sorry I'm new to turning and want to understand, maybe it's just the camera angle. Love the video and the finished piece

You are correct, I find it a bit easier to work on the inside when the lathe is in reverse as I can see what I'm doing a little better, thanks for your comment mate. Hope you had a nice Christmas!
That looks fantastic Ian. Whenever I have turned Eucalyptus it always cracks very badly. Any ideas? Take care mate. Cheers, Huw

Thanks Huw! This piece has definitely cracked and moved a little but it was only cut down last week and this was more of a test to see how freshly cut eucalyptus reacts haha, I’ll have to wait for it to dry a bit and then have a go 😂 cheers mate.

Hey mate, I'll be honest the drying for the Eucalyptus I had was a pain, almost all of it has fallen apart haha, I probably could've done better with the sealing though, the turning isn't too bad, it's pretty hard though.
