"The Pou of Hinematioro was carved from Canarywood... " from what now?

Canarywood

Apparently it's a South American tree.

yea, I searched that - and I don't understand

It seems it's a word used for lots of woods: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_wood

Maybe the eucalyptus one would be most likely?

Who knows, all the articles either say canarywood or don't mention any wood type
