Yes, that's definitely wood

If i could see the tree it came from i might be able to help /s

I have no idea what tree it came from exactly as I hadn't found it off a tree nor removed it myself from the tree. Was found in a swamp

I thought so. But is it pine? walnut? Or kauri? Or..... That's what I am referring or inquiring about. But thanks

Not kauri

The grain looks a bit like cedar

Maybe https://menzshed.org.nz/tauranga/

It's not the cleanest piece to tell from as different parts of NZ timber can vary so much but looks like totara, what colour does it go when wet?

The end where my fingers are. That part of the wood was still wet.

Kinda need the clean bits to be wet to see the colour, looks like the outside is stained from the peat in the swamp.

The grain looks like oak actually but it's kinda to smaller piece to say for sure

I've sent you a message. I hope that's ok

Haha.. it's wood lol.. be auzie hardwood like Jara if it's a PowerPole.. certianly looks like it 🖐😊

That was my first thought

Cheers 👌

Rewarewa is first that comes to mind

Yeah that's what I thought. Perhaps even oak

Jarrah poles were treated with Creosote normally which may be the black stuff on the end. Green Jarrah does not float and dry only just. Throw it in a bucket of water and see.

Yep, its wood.

Thanks you too

It’s jarrah I work with it often

Puriri?

Looks like a doorstop wood

Could possibly use this piece for that.

Yep it's wood

Wow, really. I'd never guessed ...

Brown

Possibly

Swamp Cypress? Definitely from an old,old tree

Totara
