Timber identification - planks from an old Queenslander door
A family member was getting rid of an old door. They said it was a very heavy old hardwood. I said, "Don't chuck it, I'll saw it up in case it's worth using!"
But no idea what it is. Moderately heavy (heavier than pine, but not as heavy as eg Merbau or Jarrah), but a very nice honey blonde colour. Would be at least 50 years old, but was painted.
Seemed to be a lot of reversing end-grain on the part I planed a little. A good excuse to finally get going with my "too nice to use" HNT plane.
Any ideas? Photos attached and could get more if other photos would help.

I’d have a shot at Kauri pine there.

Hoop pine was often used for internal panel doors. Most common format was to have a square panel at the top with the lower portion divided with a muntin to make two separate, vertical panels.
Pine was never used for external doors, most common was silky oak.
More probably this door was pine.
