Apologies for another ID thread

Some more smaller bits i'm trying to work out what they might be.

This piece is insanely dense, hard and very oily. I thought maybe lignum vitae? Maybe Ipe?

The bark on this and unique grain are interesting.

This burl is about 900mm round, just wish it didn't have a cut-out from it. Trying to decide how to best use this.

Rhys the middle pics look very similar to Beefwood...Grevillea striata...MM

Pic 2 looks like red silky oak and pic 3 looks like red mallee burl

If the second is hard and dense I would say beefwood. If very dry and dusty when worked this would back up my opinion.

You could cut that 1st one up into fret boards for me! [emoji450]

Not sure how to best utilize this one... Shame about that crack though! Sitting on my tablesaw for size reference.
Macassar ebony? Super dense.

Hey don't apologise for an i.d. thread they are lots of fun and keep us on our toes...First sample could well be cooktown ironwood right colour, grain, density. It is stunningly heavy and hard if that is what you have got. Do you have any history of the piece. The other two look like beefwood and mallee burl as others have identified.

Thanks mate. Unfortunately no history on the timber other than that which the wife of the late man who owned them knows. Thanks for the input
