Timber identification & storage
I came across these today at a jobsite. Not sure when the trees were cut down but it wasn't all that long ago. Can someone identify the species and what I should do with them till I ready to use them. I would assume they are still too wet to do anything with.

Without one of the 'F' words (foliage, flowers or fruit) to go on, it could be any of thousands of tree species that look similar Given your location, a wild stab in the dark would be one of the Lilly Pillys (Syzygium genus) . . . . . . . . . or any of those other thousand possibles!!!

The things I do is seal the ends if I am not able to slice then in half straight away(then seal the ends). There are a number of commercial products available for sealing the ends or you can try something that you already have on hand, like paint. If you go with paint you might need to apply a second coat once the first coat is dry.

Bark and colour is wrong for any type of lilly pilly.
My best guess is poinciana -delinox regia- also sometimes called flame tree.
The bark, the wood colour and the nature of the trunk joints looks spot on for the species.
