Gidgee 315x62x62mm

Tough, striking, and truly unique, Gidgee (Acacia cambagei) is one of Australia’s hardest and most captivating timbers. Native to the arid inland regions, this extraordinary hardwood is renowned for its exceptional density and durability, making it ideal for projects where strength and longevity are non-negotiable. But Gidgee isn’t just about toughness — it’s also visually stunning. Its heartwood ranges from deep chocolate brown to rich reddish tones, often accented with dramatic dark streaks and a fine, interlocked grain. With careful finishing, Gidgee can reveal highly figured patterns, including tight curls, fiddleback, and shimmering chatoyance, giving it a depth and character that rivals even the most exotic hardwoods.
