Anyone recognise this leaf?
Someone has offered some logs to our woodworking guild but can’t offer any idea as t what species. They did however drop off this leaf; it’s not ringing any bells from for me so does anyone else have an idea?

Many thanks; I’ve passed this info on to the guys who’ll be collecting and milling the logs.
I’ll make sure they get some pictures of the bark and woodgrain to put on this thread.Nothing succeeds like a budgie without a beak.

Both split in log form fairly quickly, so timber recovery is quite variable.
From my memory G hilliana is silvery on the underside of the leaf, G baileyana is rusty brownish on the underside. Just checked Coopers "Fruits of the Australian Tropical Rainforest" - my memory is correct. A few months back a G baileyana was taken down next door. Logs are 350 mm dia from a nice straight but leaning trunk to 8 m.
No matter what I do it's splitting big time. Left a couple of 1.8 m sections in log form, they have split. Took some as bowl and pepper mill blanks, most are splitting even well end sealed. Boards are the same. Some is well aired, other boards on thin stickers to slow air flow. Neither appears better than the other.
Well seasoned wood I got from another forum member was also heavily split, with a fair bit of degrade due to fungal(?) attack inside the wood.
Don't be put off though as it is nice timber to work, like Northern Silky Oak in almost all respects but grain figure is less than 50% of NSO in size of flecks etc.Mobyturns
