The Eucalyptus Crown Cut wood

The Eucalyptus tree is native to Australia, New Guinea and Indonesia. In temperate climates grows Eucalyptus Globulus while Grandis and other subspecies are more common in tropical regions. Although it is a fast-growing species, heartwood is a hard wood, very strenght and durable. Those physical characteristics are better than the ones from Oak, but the dimmensional stability is poor and timber is also difficult to work with. Eucalyptus wood also tends to have many internal stresses and drying difficulties. Therefore this trees are mainly planted for the pulp industry that takes advantage of its short fibres.
