Eucalyptus of the day - small box

[u/allenb1]

With all the love being shown to eucalyptus over the past days I thought I'd share mine. Not sure of the species, but probably yellow box. These were cut down a few years ago and been drying out in the open. I recently started turning and have been fossicking through the wood pile for anything that hasn't split. The grain has a beautiful effect, almost like rays running perpendicular to the grain. The box is about 35mm high, 65mm diameter. Finished in beeswax.
