looks like elm.Plane a small piece to see the grain and you'll know for sure. Definitely not HHB. Bark is a lot finer scales on the HHB.

The first thing that came to mind was elm, I have some like that drying in my garage. But I'm no expert on what are "exotic" trees over here

I bet you got some exceptional bow wood over there that we'd call exotic. I 'd like to get my hands some of that stuff
