Blackwood? Oh wait, your are an Aussie IIRC.  Is that a kin of Ebony?
Dry, sawdust like sand, fine grained, mills to a high polish if your 
tooling is sharp. I am wondering if it could be used in place of Ebony, 
which is from Gabon, Africa, and about $150 a board foot here in the 
states for a pretty solid black. Getting it past customs takes more 
weight in paper than the square foot weighs.  Chain of evidence type of 
thing.
