Eucalyptus is not that great for carving. The only good thing about it is that is so hard it makes you slow down and there no risk you're going to take out a piece of wood by mistake. So it's probably a good beginner wood. I found a bunch of logs around my apartment. I found some palm, only it’s not cut yet, but will be soon. Some guy just cut the top of all the palm tree in his garden and left the trunks in the dirt, weird but cool, I’m going to ask him to do the final removal. I’ll be posting some picts to find out if it’s a good carving kinda palms. Tahitiki [ Edited by: Tahitiki on 2004-06-30 20:12 ]
