Trying to ID this timber, it was found in a pile of firewood with no idea of where it came other than from the Perth area

Possibly Cape Lilac / White Cedar

Another thing, the surface under the bark is very prickly

Have come across this prickly surface before, pretty sure it was one of the Banksias.

I plan to turn it up in the next week so we will see what it looks like then

A fresh cut end may assist with ID. It appears to have a pronounced medullary ray feature, but difficult to say with any certainty what it might be.

Apparent density? Hardness? Smell? Feel (i.e. greasy, dry, waxy)? Will see what your turning produces.

Another piece of firewood
