Notes of spiced pepper and mint
Peppermint Gum —
The subtle smell of spiced pepper perfumes my workshop from the shavings of this Black Peppermint Gum (Eucalyptus nicholii) bowl.
The bowl came from a street tree blown over in a Sydney summer storm, and was turned ‘wet’ - within a week of the tree falling.
What better legacy for a fallen street tree than a beautiful bowl.
Ironbark —
Eucalyptus paniculata is endemic to New South Wales. It has dark, deeply-furrowed bark, and dense, red-brown timber. Ironbark is amongst the hardest of Australian hardwoods.
This was turned as a ‘natural edge’ vase - keeping the bark in tact and following the contour of the cut log. You can also see some of the lichen from the original tree.
