Hey Folks,

What was the outcome of this thread?

Purple Gidgee - Woodwork Forums (http://www.woodworkforums.com/f14/purple-gidgee-69355)

Is this wood anywhere to be found/bought? Any other illicit stashes of amazing woods out there?

Hi Reeves,

If you have any boards like those in the pictures, I'm sure Vern or I could help you rid yourself of them. Feel free to post here or send me a PM. Personally, I'm into the really dense desert timbers.

haha i am sure you could mate but i just have a few small bits in my collection, no boards...best bet to head out there with a chainsaw or contact local woodmongers groups...in Northern SA area, around Quorn or western Qld.

I have some Black Mulga on the way from WA, hard n dark. I love the desert timbers too, inland rosewood i have some logs off..

Try Stan Ceglinksi or Djalimari in WA for more desert stuff...if that guy in Brookfield cant be contacted, where is he ? did he show at the show? where is the purple stuff gone...mmmmmmmm mystery.....desire.....;-)

Is this wood anywhere to be found/bought? I have a few natural edged boards/slabs that I can get pen, knife handle blanks etc from. Let me know if you want any, what sizes.:2tsup:

Sorry for the wait guys, I had to drag out a couple and clean 'em up a bit. The boards/slabs are only about 4' long x 3" - 7" wide x 5/8" - 1 1/4" thick.
