Not sure about Bloodwood, colour Ok, but I can't see any of the typical blood veins. Not Jarrah either.

I have some very hard and heavy stuff that is very similar, from a demolished house in NSW. I took it to Teak and Fancy Timbers who deal with a heap of different species and the best they came up with was NSW Rosewood, but then went on to say it may be too heavy for that

How heavy is it?
hmm the bloodwood pics i found online looked simillar,

it is very heavy.... probably the heaviest slabs of this size i have ever lifted

ReBox tends to grow a long way from Sydney, and from what I've seen of it the grain is much crnkier than that shown here. Also to get planks like that they would need to be bbig Red Box trees.

Ironbark is a possibility.
the origin is unknown,
as i said in my first post, these slabs have been sitting on my racks for years,
im pretty sure they were even around before i moved house,
so thats looking at 8 or 9 years....

hmm i lookedat some pics of ironbark onlne, not sure if i see so many simillarities
