Default Air Layering

I may be better asking in another group such as the Bonsai one but here
goes...
Has anyone ever tried to air layer a Eucalyptus tree.
I have a very nice tree in my garden about 10ft high. Because it has always
been clipped back and shaped, it has grown some nice thick branches. At the
end of this year I planned to lop off some to bring the size down a bit and
get some new growth.
The branches would make some great thick trunks, 6" to 10" diameter, for
Bonsai and as Eucalyptus has no problem re-shooting I like to give it a go
and turn them into Bonsai trees.

So the question is will I be wasting my time in trying to air layer half a
dozen branches.

Thanks
