Mystery Timber
Hi all,
Got this nice straight bit of timber a while back and I've got no clue as to what it is. It's quite nice to work with but the grain has a course feel to it, and it turns a deep reddy brown when finished with oil. I would relate its weight to something like NG rosewood. Any ideas?
Thanks

No suggestions at all?
Looks like it's Lignum ignotum spp for the time being

Unfortunately NGR has quite a weight range Density 0.55–0.9 g/cm³. Does this timber have a distinctive smell? Could possibly be something like cigar box cedar if it is quite light, given the end grain.

Hi IWield the Spade
I know nothing much about the types of timber so I am sorry I cannot help you much on this one ...But if you could ecuse my ignorance what would Lignum ignotum spp be meaming.. I suspect it is latten ...... Telstra has there own moto in latin as well ....... Custonatorris deprivas equoless..... I wonder who knows what that means! I am sorry for hijacking your post its just my humour.
It looks a nice piece of timber and I also would like to know what it is too, I am sure there are people here that would know or at least have a good guess if you don't have any luck give TTIT a PM he may be able to help with the Identifacation of it
ColbraMay your saw stay sharp and your nails never bend
