Oversized Ringed Gidgee Blocks from Australia

[Burl Source]

All these blocks have been sold. Thank You

I just returned after being gone to a knife show in Southern California for a week. When I got back there was a box of some awesome Ringed Gidgee waiting at the post office. The ringed gidgee is super dense wood like ironwood with stunning figure. It is a desert acacia from Australia. The first two blocks would probably be considered exhibition grade.

You should be able to get at least a couple handles from each block. If it were me, I would make this wood stretch as far as possible. It would be great for folders as well as fixed blade knives. You will probably want to save this wood for really important projects.

I hope you like this wood, it is really, really nice stuff. I photographed each set individually so you can see exactly what you will be getting.

I drum sanded these blocks then belt sanded the faces to 120 grit and wiped with a light coat of wipe on poly. They will look even better when you polish them up.

These blocks come with a no questions asked, money back guarantee.

When you see ones you want, just post "I'll take #s ....." and I will mark them sold for you. That way nobody can buy them out from under you.

US shipping is $5 for up to 2 blocks, everywhere else in the world is $13. Paypal is the easiest way to pay. Our address for paypal is itsaburl@hotmail.com.

I read Coop's thread and did kind of a halfway light box. Plus I found out if you read that book that came with the camera it tells you what all those buttons are for.

Your wood was sent today priority mail.
We were hit by a storm and lost power yesterday.
I hope you enjoy your wood.
Thanks, Mark
