Burl identification
Not sure if this is the best place for this question, so mods please feel free to move it if there is a better location.
I have acquired a couple of burls which I am unsure of their species and I was hoping that my learned friends might be able to help out.
There are two that I need help with and I will show the turned and unturned faces in the hope that might help.

There are a lot of burls like your first one, but given your location, I would suggest yellow stringy or blackbutt.
The second one I have no idea, but it looks nice

The first one looks like a young red gum and the second one is most likely red mallee

Thanks guys. I will have to try to make a decision from these suggestions. All the burls came from Mark formally of 043 Turning so they could have come from anywhere I guess.

Hey Gents
The top burl looks like Salmon Gum to me
The lower burl looks like Red Morel or Red Mallee
