Hi Jeff,
You can "chime in" as many times as you want (one at the time), you don't need to have permission to do that, when on DL the only thing you can't do is to claim any prizes but, given your guesses, that is no problem.
If your guess is correct, I ignore it, waiting for someone else not in DL to repeat the correct guess again, that person then, becomes the winner, capish...??:biggrin:
Cheers
George

Yes, you are correct Edgar, is on my timbers list and is very Aussie, couldn't be more Aussie that this...!:wink:
Tasmanian Blue Gum trees are readily available/seen all around these areas, some in plantations and others planted around houses, yards, etc. They are know for not being as messy and dangerous as some of our most common Gum trees that drop dead branches all the time and some quite large.
Cheerss
George
Hmm...on the other hand, what could be more Aussie than "18" but does that fit some of the other clues???

Hey George - does the wood smell like cooked bacon when it's cut green?
Seems to me there's a distinctly Australian wood with that characteristic.

No one has guessed:
#9 Colonial Red Gum - Special
not sure what the "special" is, but I just wonder ....

I`d swear it was a Red Herring tree , as George uses them frequently , but I don`t see it on his list . (That will probably get me permanently on the disabled list !!)
I'm pretty sure that the Red Herring tree only grows in St. Olaf, MN

Well, if I recall correctly, any blanks I marked like that, was because they had some spalting, which is very white(ish) in colour, very rare to find as this wood just doesn't spalt...!

Very funny Wayne however, apart from the fish with the name Herring that I know about, it got me thinking if there was actually a tree with such name so, I did a Google search on "Red Herring tree", the result was this, https://www.google.com.au/search?q=Red+Herring+tree&es_sm=93&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=yJDaVKujAoPbmgWgg4GQCQ&ved=0CD4Q7Ak&biw=1536&bih=758&dpr=1.25 and I can't see any of interest or I use, hahahah...!:biggrin:

Well, is almost time to wrap this one but before I do, let me show you, the other side of the piece/board I have on the opening post as the question pic,
it may give you a better view to what it is, probably too easy of a guess, if I had used it instead so, now you should be able to recognise it, huh...???:biggrin:
There is something else, that you folks have been missing and that is in regards to that Note I made on the opening post about the invisible ink, no one had mentioned anything about it or even ask what it was, some of you I know that are not new to this trick so, I may have been giving clues along the way with the invisible ink but no one looked for them, shame really...!:wink: some call them, trees tities...!
So, have I got your attention now...???
Cheers
George

Hahahahah, sorry but, that is not the way you look for text that was written with an invisible ink or is invisible...!:biggrin:
In fact, my last clue was written on my last post and after I put the "wink" character. Highlight a couple of inches in from of it and tell me what you see...!
Cheers

Hah, that's easy mate, and a lot less messy than rubbing lemon juice all over you monitor screen, huh...?
OK so, open a post and type something on it, have you got that done...??? Ok so now, highlight what you wrote or part of it and look at the editing toolbar just above the text, you will see a big A with a thick black line under it, got it...??? now, that is your text colour chart, so you can change the text colours from the set black colour, if you select the white colour, what do you think that it will do...??? that's right, the text become white, which is the same colour of the background so, is there but you can't see it, until you highlight it, capish...?
OK, now you know how its done so, stop wasting lemons...!

Red Mallee Burl was my first thought, but I did not see it on George's timber list.

Based on the "clue" my other guess is Macrocarpa (Golden Cypress)
