    What does it feel like, is it heavy and hard? Going by the picture alone it looks like a gidgee
    Nothing succeeds like a budgie without a beak.

    Hi Chief Tiff,

    It is heavy and hard. Where would I get Gidgee from in Melbourne?

    Regards,

    +1 for Qld Maple, made a bread board for a friend a few years ago and it looked practically the same. The dark "pinstripe" lines in the grain are the giveaway for me

    My first thought was Qld Maple also but I sat on the fence waiting for support.

    The timber is figured QLD Maple. Now to find some that looks similar and I can finish the table I'm making.
    Thanks for the help people. Much appreciated.

    Regards,

    Rob
