Workability; Good
Uses; Decorative accents, door panels, small projects, and veneer.

All I can think of is Myrtle.
Only problem is, is that the mrytle grown here is not even the same species as the myrtle what grows in Europe.
Maybe Pinus Crapus?, which isnt native to here.
Craftwood?
MDF?
Chipboard?
OK, who cares?

But our maples aren't true maples, I don't know that we have any species native to Australia that are also native to Europe.

Good Evening Friends,
Well, friends it looks like I stumped you. The wood I am looking for is sometimes called silly oak, but more commonly known as "Lacewood."
Thank you for your support.

Ralph,
Northern Silky Oak = Cardwellia Sublimis
Southern Silky Oak = Grevillia Robusta
Both are native to Australia only and have pronounced medullary rays, as does "Lacewood". However, even though they look similar to Lacewood they are totally unrelated.
