Thee last one looks like it could be Inland Rosewood, have a look here for desert timbers ttit - Trees & Turnings. Vern TTIT is a member here but rarely posts these days

Thanks Hughie. It certainly looks like Inland Rosewood. I thought at first it was gidgee but now I've seen the photos on the website the Gidgee bark is all wrong. Now to try and turn it.
It was given to me from a deceased estate, the guy that had it used to go from Victoria to Darwin each year so he probably picked it up in his travelsTerry Keven: Retired Signwriter.

Now that its established that the wood is inland Rosewood the hardest wood in OZ I tried to set up a small piece in the lathe to turn a lidded box about 50mm in diameter.
My problem is it's so hard I can't bash my 4 pronged spur drive into it to rough turn. Any suggestions please.Terry Keven: Retired Signwriter.

possible solution
Hi
could you drill and chisel out the 4 prong pattern for the spur to nestle into?

As others have said saw a cross in the end. It's something I almost always do with just about any wood except very soft woods like pine. I use a tenon saw.
