Currently, the species I am focused on offering are beautiful Acacias from Australia. Acacia is a genus of about 1084 trees and shrubs which can have vastly different properties. I try to offer pieces which show off the best of each species.
Tasmanian Blackwood:
Tasmanian Blackwood is a beautiful Acacia which is closely related to Koa. It is actually believed to be its ancestor, spreading from Australia to Hawaii. To quote the wood database: "the two species are virtually indistinguishable". It is also more sustainable than Koa as supplies in Hawaii are dwindiling. I strive to offer Tasmanian Blackwood which exhibits great color, and figure, often showing off a beautiful chatoyance and curl. A lot of the beauty can only really be appreciated in person, but if you would like a video of a specific piece, shoot me a message on instagram! Unless otherwise noted, Tasmanian Blackwood offered by me will always be professionally stabilized.
Ringed Gidgee:
Ranked number 3 in The Wood Database's top 10 hardest woods, Gidgee is an amazing timber. An Acacia like Tasmanian Blackwood, Gidgee is actually even harder than woods like Ebony and the famous Arizona Ironwood. It polishes up amazingly, and is of course very durable. It does not need stabilization. Ringed Gidgee and Gidgee is the same wood, just with or without curly figure. I try to source Gidgee with as much curl and figure as possible.
Western Myall:
At the time of posting, the rarest of my wood offerings is Western Myall. An acacia with similar properties to Ringed Gidgee, this beautiful wood is extremely hard to come by as it is only commercially harvested by one individual, and is harvested in remote central Australia. The wood is a bit more expensive due to rarity, and the fact that the yield out of my billets was quite low due to cracks and checking. Once my supply is gone, I may not be getting any more.
