Eucalyptus?

Yep, looks like eucalyptus to me.

Fingers crossed it's not eucalyptus viminalis as they grow like crazy.

Eucalyptus as said. Picture of the bark to confirm

 

[Seadog]

Google Lens is reasonably reliable up close.

He will have fun, seriously dense wood

Only 40ft its a baby

Some training videos for him here

Quite interesting how the Indonesians? do it. Most of their felling is without a hinge, they do a nearly complete bore cut just leaving the root butresses holding it up then cut the last one to release. Wastes less of the log without a hinge cut.

Not when shot with an air-rifle (lead)
