Wanted. Purple Gidgee for plane making.
Hi All
I am looking for a small supply of Purple Gidgee. I wish to make infill planes, pens and other small items.
I live in far north Queensland but willing to pay freight charges for the right pieces.
Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about Acacia crombiei (what I call Pink Gidgee)?
If so I have a number of smallish logs (100-150 dia x 300-500 long) all air drying for over 10 years. Let me know ASAP, I leave in 2 weeks to head west, and I'll get you some prices.Neil____________________________________________Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new

I'd also be interested in some pieces of this timber if available.
Generally for small items but large is okay too.....

Well, I hope he shows us what he made of them, indeed, taking it all.

Hey All,
Arrgh is very close to the mark. . With work commitments I get a couple of hours a week if I'm lucky.
Would it be considered an antique plane if it takes me 20 years to make it?
A fisherman standing on a river bank not catching fish is loitering,
And a woodworker who is not working wood is a hoarder.
Just call me a hoarder.......
