    G'day Joash,
    I was wondering if Jamie might have meant that the timber was ( Illawarra ) Flame Tree ( brachychiton acerifolia )? This tree grows in the rainforests of Northern Queensland and down the East Coast to Sydney. I've also seen it growing in gardens and as street trees here in Adelaide.
    I believe that the timber from this tree is used for funiture / cabinet making, wood turning etc.
    Don't stop doing the " Guess what timber" thread mate, just do a bit of research on the timber pieces before you submit them. That way you learn & become better versed on timbers & their characteristics. If there is a query regarding identification, you at least have facts / resources to reinforce your decision. Plus, we also get to learn more about the timber as well.
    Hope that this is of some help to you.
    Regards,
    Barry.

    Silky oak (casuarina). Some weird Queenslandish variety.
