Coolibah Turning Blank

(Microtheca eucalyptus) Although Coolibah is native to Australia, this beautiful wood is harvested in California and Arizona. Brought to the USA during the 1850’s gold rush, Coolibah is a very dense wood with interlocking grain. It takes detail well and generally cuts clean. Using a skew chisel may produce some chipping, not recommended for thread cutting. A pleasing ribbon-like figure runs throughout each blank with each containing between 25-50% sapwood that offers a welcome contrast in the overall look.

• Turning blanks are sold partly seasoned with no guarantee of moisture content.
• Due to difficulty in maintaining a regular supply, wood will not be back ordered if out of stock.
