Click photo for side two. This is something we've never had before. I like to call it 'Koala burl'. It is the burl from the Eucalyptus robusta tree (Eucalyptus robusta). This is the tree that koala bears sit in and eat the leaves, almost a complete food source for them. Eucalyptus robusta rarely have good burls, so these are uncommon. The burls mostly have two colors, pink and greenish grey tan. The pink sometimes looks more red after a little light exposure. These are freshly cut (But DRY) so they are mostly pink. The burl has various tight bark inclusions and we have really soaked these down with superglue to get it in there as much as possible to make the piece nicer to use for you. Hardness is something like soft maple from the Northwest and is really easy to sand. Unique, and we don't have much.

Note: this is not the same kind of wood sold as eucalyptus burl from Australia, though the tree does grow there. (Our tree grew in Hawaii) The Australian burl usually sold as eucalyptus burl is a totally different wood in appearance and texture. We have never seen blanks of Eucalyptus robusta burl on the market before this offering below. In the 1790's it was wrongly thought to be a type of Mahogany, thus the "swamp mahogany" name from the past.
