Can anyone identify this wood?

Slab 2.jpgSlab 1.jpg

 

Hi all, I was recently gifted this slab of wood which I'd like to make into a coffee table. I don't know what type of wood it is - can anyone give me a clue or advise how I could find out? I'd also like to ask what product would be recommended to fill some of the small splits that are in the slab prior to planing and sanding. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

@Hello @Tinawillow81

 

Thank you so much for sharing your insight into the kind of wood @Smithrj has. It could possibly be camphor laurel. However, there was no mention of smell or aroma coming from the timber piece. I'm not sure if it will still be possible to smell the wood as a sealer has been applied to it. 

 

If you have any projects you would like to share in the house or garden, please don't hesitate to post them. I'm sure our members are keen to see what you're working on.
