    Default Mystery beams

    Want to confirm the species of these beams. They were rescued from a burn pile after a demolition.

    Originally thought they were Jarrah but it looks like Marri.

    They are destined for a table top.

    Regards

    Managed to wrestle a piece through the planer today.

    Just poured a little metho on it to bring out grain.

    Should still make a nice table if I can salvage enough around the splits and cracking. Otherwise I think I have found my new work bench top.

    Regards

    I'd be tempted to texture it with a wire brush.

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.
