I got hold of a few pieces of this from a clients joinery shop and i need to know what it is please. Client doesn't know what it is either. It is light in weight and has a tight grain.

Tas Oak, Vic Ash, Mountain Ash. None of which are species, all are generic terms for timber that is similar and marketed together. Some appears to have a pinkish hue. Specific species would be more difficult to nail down.

TA, VA or MA i don't think it is as I've machined and used all on occasions and it does not feel or machine like any of them.
Thanks for the reply.

Those pics remind me of a board of Queensland Wallnut that I got at the Maleny wood expo about four years ago.What is left is at the daughters place. Could take some pics next weekend if you like.

My first impression was light coloured blackwood (malonoxylon), but with a washy picture. But not too sure?

Almost looks like 2 different species. Got any end grain shots?

Thanks all. A fresh cut end section and another close up of the face. It does have a tinge of pink through it.

Does look a bit like Queensland Wallnut.

Geez, based on post 7's photos I was going to agree with Cliff as it looked like Qld Walnut, but your extra photos in post 11 don't :dunno:

Hmm, i would have to agree. I need to give it a name as I'm making a box from it so if nothing concrete comes up all call it QLD Walnut and wait for someone to take me to task :B

Oh yes thanks Cliff, didn't notice different poster. Hey pker, yours doesn't look like Walnut, but I guess just some quick grown stuff maybe.

Anyway, I think Cliff was on the money

The grain features, and the grain damage in the sawn end grain, I would say an acacia, probably blackwood.
