While your thinking about tree species, would anyone like to have a crack at this one? I'm normally very reluctant to put up pics of wood because I think accurate id of wood from pics is virtually impossible, but I have the bark to help, & I'm pretty certain it's an Acacia, but which one?
I bought this billet at the Brisbane TWWW show last week. The bloke what took my money told me it was Western Rosewood, by which I assumed he meant Alectryon sp. I was pretty sure it wasn't, but not in a position to argue as I'm not familiar with the bark of WR. The colour looked wrong for WR, but the ends were covered with so much sealant, you couldn't be sure what colour the wood was. When I got it home. I split it along the largest radial crack, and it was immediately apparent that it ain't WR!: Acacia sp.jpg
It has that very short-lived smell of 'violets' common to several Acacias I know, so that's not a lot of help. The colour & density of the wood reminds me of Weeping Myall, but the bark is wrong for that, based on the tree I know as Weeping Myall. This one has a scaly bark that is unlike any other dry-country Acacia I've seen before: Acacia sp1.jpg
I have no idea where it came from, I'm guessing 'dry' country because of its size, density & tight growth rings, but maybe only the person who collected it from the wild will know for sure. The billet was marked "D" so "D", if you read this, please tell me what it is!! :U
Cheers,
