Thanks Dalboy and Tea Lady. Tea Lady the lead wood is Combretum imberbe and is heavy and hard as nails. When you see pictures of game lodges in South Africa those twisted stems holding up the thatch roof are 9 out of 10 times Lead Wood as they are termite proof. Regards Roger

I had to look up what lead wood was as you got curiosity.
Local to the region is what my understanding is.
