    Question Advice on identifying this type of timber

    G'day,

    I've been trying to work out what type of timber this is and was wondering if anyone knew? I originally thought it was pine, but now I'm not sure with that patterned knot. Any ideas?!

    Cheers.

    Default Identification book

    Here is a pretty good book that has commonly used trees for furniture and turning
    Wood Identification & Use - Woodturning Tools and Timber, Woodturner Accessories, Woodcarver Supplies, Woodturning Equipment
    and another good book for tree identification is
    Booktopia - Stirling Macoboy's What Tree Is That? by Stirling Macoboy , 9781877069314. Buy this book online.
    you may be able to find the what tree is that book cheaper in other places but that link is just so you know what book it is
