Wood id....
« on: August 19, 2017, 12:51:10 PM »
Hi, I know this is a big ask, and no, there are no other photos, or indeed any other information at all available  ;D

Any clues greatly appreciated....

Looks like a reclaimed piece of timber, judging by all the surface cracking....reminiscent of Jarrah sleepers or dock pilings.

looking at the splitting pattern i would guess ekki with the dark redd and mini striations i can see on some of it but it doesn't appear to have the white deposits in the pores so as les suggests it could be jarrah too.

Thanks folks, Jarrah looks favourite as it is indeed an old sleeper.

actually i think it is karri rather than jarrah aas jarrah doesn't really have those zigzag striations in it.
