Thread: Timber Species (recycled timber)

G'day folks,
I have a few images of this timber that i'm recycling. The timber came from a home built trestle which stood around 14 ft high. It had pine stepups with steel rod inserts for support. Each trestle (2) had been stored outside and therefore it is quite weathered looking.
Now the main frame is of this timber in the images. It is moderate to work with (hardness) as the jigsaw blade found it difficult to cut as was the case using a handsaw (JACK). Although certainly not as tough or heavy as ironbark is. The timber has a bit of a shiny appearence that only shows on the darker lines. When working the timber, it smells like a sheila's perfume, like a sweet kinda smell.
I'm wondering if anyone can help me to identify it please as it may be worth keeping for a later furniture project?
Thanks in advance
cheers,
Woody.
PS. The dark grey matter you see on one image is only oil from the jigsaw blade roller\guide thingy.
