It does look a lot like Olive to me too.
Cliff.
If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

Bark doesn’t look like Olive, I’d say it’s Poplar going on the colour of the timber

The bark and grain could be one of the Pittosporum family. Can't say which one, as there're quite a few species and variations between.
Many years ago my mum had a big old ree felled, on which I practised my microwaving drying techniques. The side grain and bark look very similar, but I cannot comment on the end-grain... as I microwaved before turning and something about my mw technique definitely changed the grain colour to chocolate and vanilla swirls.
(I believe I posted pics of before and after to a thread somewhere in the turning forums, but that would've been before the Great Image Loss.
