I just finished posting 14 large blocks of Ringed Gidgee in our web store.
Ringed Gidgee is a beautiful hardwood from Australia. Kind of like a cross between Koa and Ironwood. Gidgee is a member of the Acacia family like Koa and grows in arid conditions resulting in a very dense, hardwood like desert Ironwood. These are natural hardwood blocks. They have not been chemically stabilized. In the future there will be some stabilized blocks of Gidgee at a price that is a bit higher. For this first batch I started with some of the more affordable pieces.
Gidgee sands and polishes up nicely. If you come across any hairline checks just apply a drop or two of thin CA glue and finish sanding before the glue dries. After sanding a couple coats of Danish or Tung Oil gives a really nice finish.
These blocks come with a no questions asked money back guarantee. Free US Shipping.
