I'd say it was Lime wood and mistletoe leaf. Or the biggest piece of mistletoe every.

Looks like Elm timber to me.

[Jake Andrews]

I'm with Peter. Looks like elm to me. Good shout on the mistletoe leaf though.

[se7enthdevil]

is it not a eucalyptus of some sort?

 

 

can you give me a close up of the endgrain?

[timbernut]

Not mistletoe leaves😄 bark does look lime like but no stringy baste fibres and much too dense, wood looks vaguely like some disease elms I've seen in the past, by the way the leaves n log are definitely from the same tree😃. I did think it might be a euc but have not seen one with this sort of bark. I will try and get him to send me a close up pic as I'm not working with him tomorrow

What about hornbeam?😎

[se7enthdevil]

i'd be interested in the log as it looks like nice timber.

[Steve Bullman]

I'd put money on that being Elm. That leafs from something else

[Jake Andrews]

Too tightly grained for lime I reckon.

+1 for eucalyptus.
