spalted silver birch does work if you can turn it - but its very soft and punky so short of dousing it in CA I tend to give up in disgust and do something else.

Tony, when you came to collect the lathe you may have seen a load of silver birch and eucalyptus out the front..... i've turned box's with both and had good results with both.... made pens from eucalyptus, and very nice they are too.....
