Is there another name for this wood?

[Ulises Victoria]

It says Fiddleback Stringybark Tasmania.
I am trying to find the Spanish or at least Latin name for this. Anyone knows?
In the photo I'm showing a waxed and an unwaxed side

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ulises,
According to my book the "Stringybark" is properly named - Eucalyptus obliqua.
It grows naturally in the southern Coast of Eastern Australia and in Tasmania.
Fiddleback , of course refers to the grain.
Hope this is of some help to you.
Regards Bob.

Now I'm a bit confused: Is it an Oak or an Eucalyptus??? As far as I know, Oak and Eucalyptus are very different families of trees.... or not?

Local nanes may or more likely will not resemble the taxonomy and latin naming conventions. The world abounds with "iron woods".

When talking about wood from Australia, don't put too much weight on the common name. Lots of things are commonly called some type of "oak" or "pine" that are not oak or pine. But the Europeans making up the common names at the time they arrived had never seen the unique trees growing in Australia and they just used common names that seemed to fit what the tree most looked like to their unscientifically trained eyes.

Dead right there, we even have different "Common names" for the same species, depending on where you live. It is most definitely a Eucalyptus.
