    Default Guess what timber this is #2

    This time I have photos of 2 different types of wood.

    The second is a type of burl.

    Guess what timber it is.

    Clues will follow.

    Photos should be acceptable.

    5th photo is a closeup of the burl

    Start guessing everybody.

    Regards.........Joash

    The burl is most definitely "misplaced timber."

    It belongs in my shed. Really!

    Never heard of "misplaced timber",

    And no neither of them are in the cedar family.

    The burl you may have turned before Stirlo.

    2 more guesses, and i'll give another clue

    Ok,

    so far we have

    "misplaced timber"
    Cedar
    Sheoak Burl
    Bubinga
    Banksia**
    Quandong
    Silky oak
    Jacaranda
    Casuarina spp
    Jarrah Burl
    bull oak?
    rock sheoak
    dwarf sheoak
    slaty sheoak

    I have had many PM's, with people sending in their guesses. That is why there are some more.

    We have one guessed correctly by Wild Dingo.
    The burl is Banksia Burl.

    We have one more block of timber left.

    And the next clue is.

    It is in the Silky oak family.

    If you can see the photos properly, you will see it has a silky oak like grain.

    Keep guessing,

    Regards.......Joash
