Can anyone tell me what type of wood this is?

[mummatoni]

I got this wood out of Woolworth service station fire wood packet. So now my dilemma is have no idea on wood type. Also how do I stop or what causes the white marks with polishing can anyone set me straight.

OK wood ID is not easy as you need many things, basically bits of the whole tree, bark, leaves, flowers, seeds etc. But I would say you some sort of nondescript gum tree. I have got something very similar in my backyard at the moment

Looks like Yellow Box, almost identical to my free supply of fire wood which I know is Yellow Box

i would say it is firewood:D

But like Hugie pointed out, you need more than a offcut, the leaves, bark and other items can help narrow it down

Hardwood trees use stacks of large, open cells, vessel elements, to form a "vessel" which is the primary water transport mechanism in wood.
I'll guess that your wood is old and that the vessels are filled with fungus (or "mold") which makes the white flecked appearance.

It's definitely not yellow box - the grain isn't close enough and guarantee, the local doesn't sell decent firewood other than kindling.

Around here we have tiswood (it is wood), taintwood (it ain't wood), and FOG wood (found on ground). I use a lot of FOG wood.:D
