recycled timber

[Hodgo]

I recently saved an old wardrobe from landfill during the annual cleanup

I've run some pieces thru the thicknesser'planer and it looks like nice timber for some projects I have in mind

Its quite heavy and the Dewalt 735 didn't like to take too big a bite although I ended up with a nice finish

I'm guessing the wardrobe was made in the 40's - 50's

anyone have an idea what breed of timber this could be ?

cheers

It looks to me like some kind of auracaria but that would be light rather than heavy. I'll put up a photo of a bit of Norfolk Island Pine I have just been sanding.

thanks mate

the lower left corner looks similar minus the knots

is it heavy and hard to sand?

Na, this stuff is like light pine and sands beautifully. I just can't think of anything that looks like that but is heavy.
