Tassie blackwood is the most prized wattle for timber, veneer and turning. Silver wattle is yellowish with black flecks and reasonably hard. Chopping blocks could be a good use but the crafty could possibly make a small table or something from it, would be a labour of love as it takes a long time to dry and the sapwood is a bit doughy.
Unless the bole is around half a metre in diameter dont expect to get much useable wood for cabinetry out of it. It is of course excellent firewood though.
