Australian Black Walnut
Took these pics this morning whilst taking a stroll through some lovely Rainforest on the Atherton Tablelands.There were quite a few specimens well over 1500mm D.B.H ,in a relatively small area.Cryptocarya palmerstonii is quite scarce now, so to see such impressive trees in the wild is a sheer joy IMO...Mr Fiddleback

Our Black Walnut is within the Lauraceae family as opposed to the American variety which is in Juglandaceae...Mr Fiddleback

They must have missed this stand when they harvested the stuff for the new high court building.

Ah, that explains it. I'm new to this, didn't realise we had a walnut species....
Is it just a marketing term, like Tassie Oak (not an Oak), or Vic Ash (not an Ash)?
Doesn't seem to be many people selling the stuff, from a quick search around. American Walnut is my favourite timber, so always happy to purchase something that might be similar

One of my favourite timbers, tends to be tough on machine cutters and lathe tools due to it's high silica content.
No real problem with hand tools though.
