It looks boring enough to maybe be teak, though more likely be some kind of local timber.

You have not given us much to go on here in terms of history bubble,but on first impression I was thinking Tas Blackwood.
Looking at it more closely,I would probably agree as being Pacific Maple/Meranti.

Could also be coachwood. bubble7777 is in Queensland and coachwood is a local species. Used to be the common choice for marine ply years ago.
