ACACIA omalophyla
Yarran trees found on the western side of West Australia. Sometimes called Spearwood or Myall by the Indiginous people. This blank is Fiddleback and Ringed but as it is dark timber its hard for me to portray ,it also sheens like Tassie Blackwood.Hard as much sharpening.

Very nice Peter, Dark woods are indeed hard to photograph I find as camera tries to get exposure right.
Are thinking of western myall? (Acacia papyrocarpa with a very similar very dark oily wood.) I think Yarran is more a Eastern Dryland species.
I could be wrong.
Yarran is "widespread in New South Wales but just crossing the Murray River into Victoria where present mainly as remnant populations in paddocks and roadsides.” Now considered endangered.

edit: 1) Wiki says otherwise though.
2) another link to its other name https://bie.ala.org.au/species/http:...e/apni/2914137
