    Default Timber ID Please

    My neighbour had some trees docked last weekend and I collected a few pieces. Any Idea what this may be? The cut end were quite dark. I've included the bark in the picture. Its a huge things about 60cm across bottom and maybe 40 metres high, Has pine needle leaves. If a picture of the tree helps I'll get one. He's also thinking of having the whole tree removed. May need to find someone who wants to mill it and take half.

    Looks like some kind of imported pine to me.

    What's it smell like? My guess is Cedar (Cedrus Deodara?).

    i am with SJT, a cedrus, prob deodara. The angle that the branches extend from the trunk can be a good indicator.
    everything is something, for a reason:confused:

    I'd go with a cedar though deodar is usually pretty gummy which should show up. I'm surprised there is no mention of the smell.
    Cheers,
