Purple Gidgee Bridge

Gidgee is an extremely dense hardwood.  Has variations of dark reddish brown/purple, colour with yellow sap lines. This Gidgee was sourced from Western Queensland. This arid species is perfect for bridges.

David from Australian Guitar Timbers mills all his logs, which sit in strip and air dry for at least two years before being cut into blocks. The timber is placed in a Solar or Electric Kiln and dried further to between 8 and 10% moisture content. Nearly all of David’s logs are sourced locally here in Queensland except for the Tasmanian Timbers.  Rather than trees being sent to be chipped they are saved and collected to be repurposed. Australian Guitar Timbers sustainably collect wood and love that they can convert the timber into a much-loved instrument part.
