White oak?

I'm new to Western Australia and the names for stuff over here are different for everything what I call a brown snake you call a dugite etc, anyway I was recently cutting what I thought was marri to slab for furniture and someone who saw me called it white oak I was wondering if it is the same thing or if they look similar, I don't want to waste my saw time if it's not what I'm after

Marri timber often has prominent gum veins. The tree often has glassy red sap dripping from wounds on the bark.

Any chance of a picture of the cut timber and of the bark? That would help.

I've never heard of a tree native to the Perth region being called white oak. Come on sawyers, heard of white oak before?
