Johno, take a pic of it someone here can tell ya what it is. As said above gums are good (mostly) I have a saying there is no such thing as bad timber, just bad places people want to put it. Something like scribbly gum is very 'limited' in its use, but something like grey gum has heaps of possible uses.
I love my Lucas!! ...just ask me!
Allan.
