Purple Gidgee Timber 

Purple gidgee is a highly prized and rare timber. It is very hard and very dense growing in the arid outback of Queensland and Northern Territory. It features sharply demarcated yellow sapwood and a maroon to purple heartwood with a very fine grain. Traditionally purple gidgee timber was used for fence posts and is said to have lasted 100 years in the ground. Today it is highly sought after for turning and furniture making due to its unique deep purple colouring.

Personalised pens make great gifts: While the dark timber in this pen makes personalising this timber pen difficult, we can personalise a wooden pen box via laser engraving. In the text box provided:

  • Timber box engraving: Approx. 50 letters and spaces (logo, symbols or line drawings are OK).
  • We will contact you to confirm your personalisation prior to it being complete.

Gift wrapping available.  Add the name, address of the receiver in the text box, along with your personal message. We will gift wrap and post on your behalf. The package will include your name and a message but will not include an invoice.

As this pen is available in brass fittings, it makes a great 21st wedding anniversary.
