Hi MM,
The thing that strikes me is the figure and variety of colour when compared to Tas Blackwood which seems to be of a more consistant grain pattern, Is this one you milled today a bit unusual for a Qld tree?, I have also heard that Qld Blackwood tends to be a lighter colour when compared with the Tas stuff, What do you reckon MM?
Actually looks more like CL!

What are the dimensions?
I reckon it could be good for guitars.
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.
