Hi,
I have not posted here in a while. Thanks for any input.
I have a piece of really beautiful Eucalyptus burl-jarrha, I think.
Only thing is it has major bark inclusions, voids, etc in it. Shot through with it.
I really have no idea what to do with it. I am not a turner.
I would like to make a box from some of it, but would like to fill in the voids, and be able to work with the wood after filling them in.
The entire piece is about 14" square, 4" thick.
I know that some of the turners have wood like this stabilized by speciality companies. If I do that, what cautions would you all give me, and how workable is the wood afterward?
I just uploaded a picture of it, I can't tell if it attached.
Thanks much!
David
