Australian ironwood

I got an unknown ironwood with a batch of other Australian woods, so I'm assuming it's an Australian ironwood...

Flute blanks are cut so I should be able to post the finished article shortly.

Density is 1.2 g/cm3.

Here are some quick and dirty photos:

Cooktown ironwood seems like a good match. I just read an old post on here about safety precautions for it, so I'll assume it is and take extra care until i know otherwise!
