Thread: What type of timber is this?

You could sell it as coachwood and get away with it, (I have had this timber with a load of logs of Qld Maple from your way, I don't know what it is..... but a few boards have a happy home as coachwood somewhere in NSW) ..........but I'm not saying that's what it is.
BTW Thanks for all your comments on Boxed heart. We live in a different world in NSW, but still have the same dilemmas.

No multiple choice entries accepted, and you only get one shot at this.
If you don't want the sample pack I'll throw it up for auction here with the proceeds to go to a charity of your choice.

Wild guess is Mahogany

coachwood

White cedar, maybe?

None of the above

@Greg Ward... the problem with the hardwood sawmillers is we're all too busy pissing on posts to mark our individual territories and fighting for share in a ever decreasing market. And it's always been an industry characterised by a lot of little mills and big egos. If there was ever a time we needed to pull together its now - but we're mostly that busy trying to survive we don't look at the bigger picture.

With a difference. I know the answer.

The question is... Do You?

First person to tell me what it is can get a complementary sample pack... enough for a box say. All you'll have to do is pay the postage.

Never seen this timber but based on others thinking Coachwood I'm guessing Satin Sycamore, Ceratopetalum succirubrum (relative of coachwood)?

Timboz

Rose Alder..MM

Could be Blush Alder,
rgds,
Crocy

The humble Turpentine ?

You nasty little man
So you have got to touch it, smell it and weigh it. All we get is a couple of grainy photos and one shot.
I have my suspicions, but await a little more info.
Bloody QLDers

I am pretty sure it is coach wood. Cheers WC
