    Default Help with identifying timber please

    Hi, I am new to the forum and need some help identifying some old hardwood I am using to make an outdoor table and benches. The wood was reclaimed from my patio which was 20+ years old. The wood is red with yellow flecks that appear through the entire thickness of the wood.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated to either identify or reccommend a wood with similar qualities as I can't finish my project without sourcing some more material.

    Thanks very much!

    yellow flecks? hard, heavy, red to red brown in colour, a heavyish scent when cut?

    It's Kwila or Merbau. A great outdoor timber.

    cheers

    I've had a look and compare and I think its Merbau! Thanks very much for your quick help.
