Twisted Trees:
Some of the eucalyptus I have worked in the past has had a similar fibrous structure, as indeed do various palms. One other potential clue is the fine shavings fell upwards to the air filter, very light weight.

Still nice ring box from very cheap bits of timber at the end of the day, though I should have turned the box insert the other way round. Got late today so will finish polishing it tomorrow.

RichardS:
The Wood Database shows two of the Palm types Black Palm and Red Palm which is the more likely of the two.

as some of you suspect this is not a wood but is in fact a Monocot, specifically this is Cocus nucifera more commonly called red palm.


easy to remember the palms chaps as they look nothing like wood...

Thank you Steve, good old coconut, the tree that is not a tree, and the nut that is not a nut  :)
