I’ll likely be quoting some cabinet work with this stuff, now that it is available from one of my suppliers of fronts and trim specialties. It looks kind of rustic, and rustic is what sells here.
Looks like this, and is really a type of eucalyptus. Australia is the source, and because it sort of looks like American wormy chestnut, it got named that way.
Any reports from any of you on what it is like to work with?

I'll show some comparisons, all these being $/sf pre-discount for ready-to-finish 5-piece cab doors.
Red oak 13.60
Cherry 15.50
Select maple 25.60
CVG doug fir $25.85
Lyptus 19.20
Walnut 22.05
Rustic alder 14.50
The Australian wormy chestnut is about the same as the top priced species above, that being CVG doug fir.
