What kind of wood is that? You have to show us what it’s like on the inside! 🙂

Rich, is that the Sheoak? I had never heard of it before your post about it. Native to Australia, but that don't look like it came from down under

Looks like pretty wood, at least on the wood database site pics.

Yes... It is Sheoak... Here is a pic of a riser with some heartwood... The wood varies in color... From blonde to browns and darker with red in it...

Nice wood. Is it available at any wood supplier?

I've never heard of sheoak. Is it a native tree? is it an oak?

Shredd · « **Reply #967 on:** May 17, 2019, 12:45:39 PM »

It is from Australia... Grows wild here in Florida...

Is it like Australian pine? I think it is cassarina too.

Shredd · « **Reply #969 on:** May 17, 2019, 04:01:47 PM »

Yes... That is what it is called also... But it is not a true Pine...

Here all this time I thought "Sheoak" was a girl oak tree.

I've lived a sheltered life I guess...

Duh:)

It is pretty wood for a riser, with the red undertones it goes good with that glass you chose there Shreedy !
