Unknown seed pods

[gawdelpus]

I need some help to identify these seed pods ? I was visiting a friends property over easter near Boonah ,I saw these seed pods under a tree and was wondering what sort of tree they came from ( the owner doesn't know ) but he was told it's quite valuable , I have no idea :) They are about 80 mm long and as hard as , Cheers ~ John

Thanks for your answer, I had a browse on some tree ID sites ,as close as I can find is a Cuderie (Flinderia schottiana ) sometimes called Silver Ash or Bumpy ash :) so you may well be right , I usually only only get to see "pen blank sized" bits of timber so have to rely on what I am told they are hehe. Funny thing I didn't notice at first ,but one of the pods is 5 sided,and the other is 6 sided ? some anomoly here I think.
Cheers ~ John

Thanks Neil ,lucky we didn't tread on any of those in the grass when we slabbed that crows ash a while back hehe, cheers ~ John

Definitely genus Flindersia, John. Cannot be anything else. Species depends on leaves, bark etc. Really bad news for bare feet (ouch!). But beautiful timbers.

Again crows ash our kid's used to spray them gold and red and white and use for decorations on the Christmas tree.
