Australian Brown Mallee Burl Turning Blank - 2 kg - 4 kg

The Brown Mallee Burl (Eucalyptus dumosa, E. viridis) heartwood is generally medium brown, sometimes with an orange cast. Pale yellow to gray sapwood is sharply demarcated from heartwood. Mallee trees are scrubland vegetation that are common in many parts of Australia in dozens of varieties. The trees are prolific producers of burl growths that can be harvested without cutting down the tree, which is why you normally see Australian burls in cap form. Burl turning blanks are burl caps cut into a manageable shape for turning projects such as a square or a rectangle, leaving one side flat and the outer side bumpy or jagged with the bark edge.

• Due to the nature of wood movement, shrinkage and expansion are possible.
