    Default Todays Mystery Wood Is?

    Gday Guys

    In my rumbling around I was given this old Aussie "Art-deco Table".
    Was thinking of restoring, but it is a bit beyond my capabilities. The table top was severely wet warped, I think dead and in pieces.
    I am going to salvage some timber from the legs for some creations.

    Question is..........What will it be?

    It is indeed a mystery as we cannot see it.

    My money would be on Qld Walnut on a ply substructure.

    Possible the foot would be coachwood.

    Both timbers very common in that style and time for furniture.


    Cheers
