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!

Loved both the journey and result

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Thanks very much

[@Henry_Little]

Beautiful ❣️ Don't know that I've ever seen eucalyptus turned before.👍

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Thanks Dwayne! I haven’t seen much turned either to be honest

[@GRIZZ357]

The wood really nice, good thing it was fresh. Dried eucalyptus is really hard on the tools. Your project came out really nice brother

Thank you very much

[@jimpike3489]

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

[@IanMacWoodturning]

You are quite right Jim! Thanks for your comment mate.

[@thatellipsisguy8984]

'Some' splitting… bad news about eucalyptus…

Nice, you make it look so easy.

Great work Ian! Sometimes you’ve got to experiment a little haha

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Thanks Ben!

[@Myrtuscommunis]

I love Eucalyptus. Next time I will make something from trunk of one of my Eucalyptus trees.

[@IanMacWoodturning]

You’ll have to show us the results mate!

[@Myrtuscommunis]

Yes, with pleasure, but it needs some time. 😉

Nice one Ian! I scored a load of Eucalyptus last week. First end grain piece I roughed out has cracked quite badly as it is drying. Cheers, Dave

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Haha I remember seeing that on Instagram Dave! Yeah I think they’re going to take a good while to dry but you have to have a play with a few pieces just to check mate 😂

[@MoleValleyMaker]

@@IanMacWoodturning Yep, rude not to have a go! Worth experimenting as I've not seen a lot on turning wet end grain bowls for the best results. The cookies are too thin to do anything but end grain bowls in the main.

[@jeppie53]

Hi Ian I am a new wood turner what do you do to get rid of tear out I don’t have much hardwood around here.

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Hey Ron, the best way to avoid tear out would be making sure you use sharp tools!

[@bradwiebelhaus7065]

Nice

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Thanks Brad

[@EclaWood]

Itu cocok untuk menaruh apa pak

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Itu akan menjadi pot untuk bunga kering dan sebagainya.. Yah itu akan retak karena kayunya sangat basah haha

[@PBUCKY1969]

Hey mate hope you're well! I just got my hands on a sh1t ton of Eucalyptus wood - is it nice to turn - dry out okay etc? Interested to hear your opinion on it!

[@IanMacWoodturning]

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.

[@PBUCKY1969]

@@IanMacWoodturning cheers mate - I think I’ll pre cut my blanks out of it and season it for ages before turning 👍

[@diluteduk]

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

[@IanMacWoodturning]

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!

[@hugomontalvo2599]

[@BadAppleWoodwerx]

Was that the Sorbey multi-tip hollower?

[@IanMacWoodturning]

It’s a crown tools hollowing tool

[@WoodenItBeNice]

That looks fantastic Ian. Whenever I have turned Eucalyptus it always cracks very badly. Any ideas? Take care mate. Cheers, Huw

[@IanMacWoodturning]

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.

[@WoodenItBeNice]

@@IanMacWoodturning I would love to know what happens. Can you let me know?

Certainly smelled fresh 😂 it was cut down the week prior!

Another technically sound design disaster. Think how much more elegant this vessel would be if it were a sphere raised off the table with a foot

[@IanMacWoodturning]

That sounds awful mate, terrible idea.
