I haven't got a clue what the timber is. All I know is that it was the top of a large coffee table that found its way over here from South Africa.

The piece certainly tested my vacuum chuck out !

It is just over 16" in diam and varies from 1/4" thick on the edges to 1/2" thick in the centre of the plate

Any help with the identification of the timber would be great.

I had better mention that Nigel provided the wood I believe it was brought over from South Africa by his sisters In laws.

Quite a feat mate good old Nigel came through with the makings and there right up front is the proof mate Jubilation, result is on the table, having turned yourself into a great position you snuk up on this one braveheart defies defeat.

Its a wrap ,the shouting dies down and the result is in the board.

probably wrong Vic but when we were in RSA there were stalls selling items with similar grain and colouring and I was told it was a kind of olive that grows there.:nooidea:
