    Default white tulip oak ?

    Hi,

    I'm after some info on it.

    been told....

    - white tulip oak has a white tone with red fleck.
    -there's american tulipoak (which is very expensive) and there's white tulip oak in australia which isn't worth anywhere near as much.

    thats all I know. my normal reference hasn't got anything on it. Hoping to find a write up on it somewhere

    appreciate any thoughts

    thanks
    Jake

    I think it may be Argyrodendron trifoliolatum (White Booyong) and Argyrodendron actinophyllum (Brown Booyong) Brown tulip oak .

    Timber of Argyrodendron sp. is known as Tulip Oak.
    Tulipwood is the common name for Harpullia pendula.

    You are quite right Brian. By the time I had looked things up and got back to posting Jake had corrected what he was asking about and then i got distracted with something else (read missus) and forgot to fix things up.
