1. Acacia cincinnata F.Muell.
2. Acacia concurrens Pedley
3. Acacia hubbardiana Pedley
4. Acacia leiocalyx (Domin) Pedley
5. Acacia linifolia (Vent.) Willd.

Maybe it was one of these species ... ???

All exceptionally yummy whatever it is!!

nice bit of wood

I was thinking Mearnsii ...MM

I opened up the search area. Here's what I found:

Acacia amblygona
Acacia attenuata
Acacia aulacocarpa
Acacia baeuerlenii
Acacia bakeri
Acacia baueri
Acacia brachycarpa
Acacia brownii
Acacia cincinnata
Acacia complanata
Acacia concurrens
Acacia conferta
Acacia decora
Acacia decurrens
Acacia disparrima
Acacia falcata
Acacia falciformis
Acacia fasciculifera
Acacia fimbriata
Acacia glaucocarpa
Acacia granitica
Acacia hispidula
Acacia holosericea
Acacia hubbardiana
Acacia implexa
Acacia irrorata
Acacia juncifolia
Acacia latisepala
Acacia leiocalyx
Acacia leucoclada
Acacia linifolia
Acacia longissima
Acacia macradenia
Acacia maidenii
Acacia melanoxylon
Acacia myrtifolia
Acacia neriifolia
Acacia nilotica
Acacia oshanesii
Acacia penninervis
Acacia podalyriifolia
Acacia stricta
Acacia suaveolens
Acacia ulicifolia
Acacia uncifolia
Acacia venulosa
Acacia viscidula

Every aspect of it looks like common old Sally Wattle to me (Acacia salicina). Common but yummy! I've converted a lot of the blokes up here to looking at it in a different light - they used to look at it as more of a nuisance than anything else!

Acacia amblygona too small
Acacia attenuata
Acacia aulacocarpa possibly the one Hickory wattle Bark looks good for this one
Acacia baeuerlenii
Acacia bakeri
Acacia baueri
Acacia brachycarpa too small a shrub
Acacia brownii
Acacia cincinnata
Acacia complanata too small a shrub
Acacia concurrens i think too small
Acacia conferta too small
Acacia decora too small
Acacia decurrens
Acacia disparrima very similar to A. aulacocarpa
Acacia falcata too small
Acacia falciformis
Acacia fasciculifera
Acacia fimbriata too small i think
Acacia glaucocarpa wrong bark
Acacia granitica
Acacia hispidula
Acacia holosericea too small from my experience
Acacia hubbardiana this is small shrub
Acacia implexa I've only seen smaller ones
Acacia irrorata
Acacia juncifolia too small
Acacia latisepala
Acacia leiocalyx possible But I've not seen large specimens
Acacia leucoclada
Acacia linifolia
Acacia longissima
Acacia macradenia wrong bark
Acacia maidenii
Acacia melanoxylon possible but I have not seen this one for few decades
Acacia myrtifolia
Acacia neriifolia too small from my experience
Acacia nilotica wrong bark I reckon
Acacia oshanesii
Acacia penninervis
Acacia podalyriifolia wrong bark
Acacia stricta
Acacia suaveolens
Acacia ulicifolia too small
Acacia uncifolia
Acacia venulosa too small
Acacia viscidula

Maybe this trims the list a bit. I would have a bet on A. aulacocarpa/disparrima or A.melanoxylon especially for the bark shown in the sample. Timber grain looks more like one of the faster growing 'coastal forest' wattles.

May well be Brown Salwood(Aulacocarpa) as you suggested...definately not Melanoxylon,as the timber is heavier and firmer to mill than Blackwood.Highlights what a diverse and rich Genus we are blessed with...thanks for all the input folks...here's a pic of some figured Melanoxylon from my area...MM

and a few more...MM
