OK, let's see if I can get the hint and photo correct this time! :redface: You might want to hold your guesses until Dave Lee (Rarestwood) gives the thumbs up that I have these posted correctly!
As before, the contest will remain open until Saturday, when Dave will announce the winner. Good Luck!!! Dave told me that I have it right, so guess away!!
The clue is as follows:
This timber is relatively rare nowadays it is only occasional found in commerce. It is a high quality cabinet timber and has been used for turning cabinet work and veneers. The timber is fine quality, decorative and resistant to termites. (never give a termite a pen) It sometimes has ripples and bees wing figure around 70% of shipments show a red phase in the timber and the other 30% or so have a yellow phase, just occasionally you will find a mottled and variegated boards in a shipment but these are extremely rare, this piece is from just such a board. It has many trade and local names. what I require is that you to seek out is its correct botanical name, and also its Family, sub family, tribe, genus and species if you work out the timber you can work backwards on the botanical taxonomy also I want you to explain why it was named in the particular way the clue is in its species name. The winner will win a couple of blanks from the board.
