    Default What type of wattle is this and is it worth milling?

    Wanting some help to identify the wattle in pics. I am hearing different names from 2 different sources. I have attached pics of seed pods and leaf beneath tree, though there are a few smaller wattles in close proximity. Due to that being the primary species here was hoping to use for 6inch boards for vertical external wall cladding and 4inch flooring. Please let me know if I am setting myself us for disaster or not. I know it is hard on the saws when we are clearing the dead stuff that blocks the tracks here. Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Anyway...that Acacia whatever it is should yield some quality boards
    Not a bad looking tree actually...MM

    Acacia mangium by the leaf... very definitely worth milling. I've got a pack of it kicking around in the shed and I'll see if I can grab you a picture of the timber.
