Thanks mate. It's from the roof supports I'm underground mining, been down a shaft for the last 30 years. I spoke to a guy recently who said they use red oak now, but I'm not certain this is oak.

It's pretty hard, a lot harder than say bunnings pine. The pieces where you can see the center of the tree weigh a tonne, where the parts towards the outer are no heavier than a good mahogany. As far as smell, it just smells like coal haha. I know that's no help.

Here are some more pics. From what I've read about red oak it has open grains where this is pretty tight.

No idea, looks a little brush-boxy maybe do what I do and call it tree wood.
If the guitars you make are for you it's really a non-issue unless it really bugs you, and if they're not you still have a cool story as to it's origin.
Saw this on the PBG forums as well while I was looking at builds.
