Hi everyone,
I have a quick question. I have alot of wood that came with the lathe I bought and most of it is labelled but there are a few pices that are not.
I have used two of these pieces to turn bowls and would love to know what the timber is so I can add that into the description. Here are some pics:

It has the letters NIH on it in pencil. I had a look around and Huon Pine looks very similar in colour to it but I dont know enough about timber identification to be sure. The wood is quite soft and turns easily. Here is a pic of one of the bowls if it helps.
