no foliage,complexed bark form,golden timber?

Wildlife

I hope here that some one amongst you can specify a name for this tree which has all foliage desimated that I knocked down by misfortune recently.it has a wandering grain with THICK rough & complex bark formation as in pictures with a golden brown heart paler wood outside that with almost white sap wood.It had stood around 40 feet tall not very straight (wavey) with a fair spread in its branches(eg.not like pine). Any fair ideas what it was please?(I am only hoping the images loaded okay and if so the leaves are from an Ivy that had attached itself to everything in sight.

Jesus Christ! There's no link to anything.

If it's the one in your avatar it's probably a Eucalyptus macrorhyncha but a link or a picture would help enormously

Eric Frie,true that? It was under the thread script box in the bark colored background beneath .I dont know how to find it then?There's three pics where ever it is located within the site?
To Galbee .Thank you . You may be absolutely right. It had a smell of blue gum when freshly planed/dressed some commented here.I was thinking possibly she oak as it was similar in the timber but the bark different to one that stood on the same property.I had the opportunity to slab that one out also.
It is one in the avatar , yes.Besides the odour its quite hard to cut through!

Hopefully these are finally small enough?

Done it

Second picture sure looks like an Ironbark to me.

Might be this one.Eucalyptus sideroxylon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

They are more red than this one, more like yours.

Can be a bit hard.

That certainly looks like the same beast! I am happy to call it eucalyptus without a shadow of doubt.The exact strain of this is beyond my ability or understanding . I am grateful for all attempts(both) to illuminate the dark space about this question for myself & any other interested people.There could be no arguement from most that the two pictured pieces are similar enough to be from the same tree.There are so many sub species(?) in eucalypts' I could not distinguish various similar forms without the knowledge our collective presents. So Cheers !!!

For christ's sake there was light!

Gidday all.The tree pictured is not a stringybark.Its not black in the bark,more reddish brown which breaks away in thick great chips or in whole sheaths up to 7 foot long when prised away from the wood against its dry pliable sub layer.Its form is similar to melanophloia (Euc.).Macrohyncha does fit the appearance quite completely from the link on wiki. Also the gum odour is there but it has a soft decay through its core ,so it appears not to be resiliant to decay.And the bark is no way stringy? "The more I learn the less I know"

From what I can see the bark is pretty much typical 'iron bark' which is of course a eucalypt, possibly "eucalyptus creba"

Did it have long narrow leaves?

Iron bark in Vic. is very heavy and the bark is quite tough, hence its name I guess, able to grow, and is commonly found on dry ridges in the bush in Gippsland.

And for christs sake I hope that helped.!!!

"Clever", You may be right? Although apparently I was 'barking up the wrong tree' about it being (NOT)blackish bark.There was no foliage to go by ,thanks for that response which has led to a steep learning curve following the replies.Either way it has rendered some excellent slabs of timber ,especially at the junction of the trunk & branching..It surprised me that ironbark in this case is actually a corky substance . While the timber is tough to cut quickly ,the bark offers little resistance .Until now my presumption was that ironbark meant tough bark.More like thick it would appear?I understand it doesn't burn well ,providing excellent fire protection to the wood.
