Possibly New Guinea Rosewood (NGR) Petrocarpus indicus & other related species are marketed under the trade name NGR also known as Nara, Amboyna etc which covers the white (sapwood) through honey browns to reds and even purple streaks and patches around defects, borer holes etc. NGR generally also has a sweetish "rosewood" odour when cut with the sawdust feeling slightly "greasy." The density of NGR is quoted as 650 kg/m3 though in my experience it varies considerably both below and above that figure. It also has a considerable range of grain patterns from straight to "fish scale" like compression figure but almost always displays it rather unique vascular structures which require some (lots) filling for finishing. Very common in furniture. Rosewood

Thanks, that supports Arron's asian theory. It also makes sense that it varies in density given it's a mixture of sapwood and heartwood.
What's the availability of NGR and related species in Australia? Are they considered to be a desirable for indoor furniture?

To extract the screw....use a cutting disk on a dremel, cut a slot and follow up with a screwdriver.

In a previous life I built coffins. the tops were about 15mm thick, too small for dowels so we used 75mm nails for dowels. Doesn't help in removing the offending metal, but if they are nails instead if screws, just punch the bits a bit further in and continue.
