Do you want plain Gidgee or figured? This bloke sells mostly figured knife-making stuff, but he was very helpful when I asked for specific sizes. You could contact him & ask for a quote...

Kerry
Many of the Acacias are extremely good firewood, not that I am suggesting this is what they should be used for. I suspect that when charcol is produced from them it too is a excellent material and used for creating the high temperatures necessary in forges.
