Thread: Identification Of Offcuts

Christos, the timber looks very much like Spotted Gum, but I'm not familiar with its bark. Bushmiller is the SG expert.

Looks like Yellow gum possibly Yellow box, if it's hard and heavy as, it's box.

I agree with you Fred, which is why I suggested Yellow Gum first but have also seen box with similar bark on branches on very old massive box trees high up in the canopy.

Seeing that we don't have leaves/branches etc and going on the splitting very quickly comment, I'd be inclined to think it's a gum of some description.

Pretty certain it is not Spotty.

I looked up the names of the species that was suggested and after doing more reading on the species I am thinking that it could be Yellow Gum.

It was just one of those things driving at night, in the rain at 200k an hour(more like 40k an hour) and coming to a bend I noticed these sitting on the side of the road. I parked the car on the opposite side and picked up these two which were the only ones that I was able to carry. Did I mention it was raining?

Thanks guys for the information.

Admit it your addicted.

Lets hope it wasn't some ones winter wood pile which was dropped off while they weren't home. Just in case they got your rego No you can bring it round here.

Come on hurry up cut it show us the inside.
