    Default Burl ID

    I acquired a number of burl caps recently, but unfortunately many of them are not identified in any way. I have taken photos of some that I have cleaned up the face on so the grain can be seen, and then a photo of the back of each. Can anyone with more knowledge than me help identify these please.

    Looks like Brown Mallee to me.

    Default The Burls.

    Hi Dallas,
    I think the top LHS one is Peppercorn, that's if it is not to heavy.
    Maybe another one there as well.
    Bottom one looks a bit like some kind of Eucalypt ???.
    Regards,
    issatree.

    I tend to agree with the first two, but I thought the third one was too red in colour. Could that one be Red Mallee Burl?
