I was driving my car the other day and saw some construction workers cutting down a huge Eucalyptus tree. I lugged one of the pieces home and its about 3 feet across and 2 feet high. It still has the soft bark around the outside of it. It’s such a beautiful piece of wood and I’m not a skilled woodworker so my plan was just to sand it and make it level and then just apply some lacquer to it and keep it in my backyard or put my record player on it. It was just cut down so its pretty moist and ideally i’d like to preserve the outside soft bark. Any thoughts on when I should apply the Lacquer and about how long I should take to dry it out? And to that point, does it need to be very dry before I apply any lacquer to it? thanks for your help. |
