Need better quality pics for sure....

The pores are too big for Tasmanian tiger myrtle (is there another type?), I spent the weekend working with some.

I've actually seen some of the wood in the first pics, but can't remember where (old age creeping up). How heavy is it? The stuff I almost remember, was very light.
