Help with timber ID please
I was given a crotch piece of this timber some time ago. It was picked up from a roadside collection near Nelson Bay, NSW and was destined for firewood. It was probably a garden tree. The original piece was about 300 mm diameter, so clearly a tree rather than a shrub.
The photo is a leftover flitch which has been planed flat. I applied a little oil to the top left to pop the grain.
The family horticulturist found it and gave it to me as silky oak which it is clearly not. It is a hardwood and similar density to jarrah. It turns nicely with a fine finish off the tool. The expert at the local woodturning group thought I could be brush box or turpentine but was otherwise puzzled.
Any help would’ve appreciated.
