    Default Australian Hickory

    hey yall, the old timber feller guy up here John Ryan and i went out last week and cut some of this stuff that had long fallen..in the local rainforest..'read' national park..he says its hickory but i was trying to suss the exact species....seems blackwood is hickory in some views but this wood aint blackwood or 'normal' black wattle as i have both and its different..it does however have similar properties in that is darkish and has similar weight, strenght to the blackwoods...looks more like a feral rosewood, works well.....smells like an acacia....is hard and light....

    on the aussie woods databse it has lots, but little photos of the diffeirng species...

    my question is which species is it...?

    my guess is one of the forest hickory types..is anyone familiar with them ?

    cheeeeeeeeers

    I've used a LOT of Black Wattle in the past.

    Difficult to work but well worth the effort!!

    In my Forestry days, Brown Tulip Oak (Argyrodendron trifoliolatum) was always called hickory by the old wood cutters.
    From your pickies it seems to be the same stuff. Qrail many, many years ago used it for the interiors of their carriages.
