Emu Apple

[hughie]

This particular wood I doubt if its made its  way to the UK, another desert timber from the central highlands of Queensland. Turns very well and polishs up with a little buffing to a high degree of finish.

6" high 5" dia with 1.5" opening, no finish just buffed, will wax it and buff it later, thought I would show its raw state to give some idea of how good this wood is.

Hughie, I wondered what I would find after I saw the title 'Emu Apple'.  Again a fantastic turning, and you say no polish on it yet, maybe this time a Lemon Oil Matt finish would be appropriate.

I know TTIT's website, crawled through it several times, mostly drewling of timbers I'll never get the chance to turn!
