Any ideas ??

[Johnsond]

Hi All 

Acquired some beams today, the guy said they were Jarrah ?, it’s super heavy and stinks when cut. Sliced a bit off one end to take the pic and the place was reeking afterwards. If it is Jarrah is there anything it’s particularly useful for. 
cheers

I don't know but @se7enthdevil will want that end grain sanded and a close up I expect.

They look like the Jarrah sleepers a pal of mine gets from the railway often unused and undrilled....If that's a possibility.

He mills them up for various stuff.

what section size are they?

 

certainly not jarrah to my eyes.

the other candidate is usually ekki but it's not that either.

 

i suspect that it is a south american timber called Angelim vermelho, (Dinizia excelsa) which i have been using for my skittle balls.

 

might be interested in them if they are the right size...

?? That’s some level of knowledge, 2 at 3.5m 1at 2.9m long and all at 300x130mm. If its of any use it genuinely stinks when cutting it, not very scientific I know ?‍♂️
