Red River Gum – Premium Australian Hardwood Turning Blank 

Red River Gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) is one of Australia’s most iconic hardwoods, prized for its deep reddish-brown color, interlocked grain, and exceptional strength. Naturally shaped by harsh riverbank environments, this wood develops striking figure and rich tonal depth that make every blank visually distinctive.

This premium Red River Gum turning blank features a dense structure with dramatic grain movement, producing eye-catching patterns as it’s shaped on the lathe. With sharp tools and controlled cuts, Red River Gum turns cleanly, holds crisp detail, and finishes to a smooth, satin-to-gloss surface that highlights its natural reds, ambers, and darker streaks.

Highly regarded for its durability, hardness, and long-term stability, Red River Gum is ideal for pens, knife scales, bottle stoppers, small vessels, tool handles, and heirloom-quality woodworking projects. Its strength and character make it a favorite among experienced turners looking for bold Australian hardwood with serious presence.

Bring rugged beauty and legendary toughness to your next creation with these carefully selected Red River Gum wood blanks, chosen for color, grain, and premium turning performance.
