SO I recently commented on Ironwood Wattle but in further reflection, this is the timber I have obtained. Found small quantity in north-west Victoria, very nice to machine, smooth cutting, very hard and dense with close growth rings. I have about 4 pieces, largest 450mm (branch) but only 100-120mm diameter
