rainbow eculyptus

Has anybody ever used this amazing looking timber? I had never heard of it so there must be a reason why.

I may be wrong but I seem to remember that the colours are mainly in the bark and the actual timber is pretty bland.Correct me someone if wrong.

Never worked it, but know that it's commonly called Deglupta, and is a eucalypt, it's scientific name being Eucalyptus Deglupta.
