Dimensions Each layer of timber is 2.5mm wide making the ring 5mm wide in total. It is 2.5mm thick.Production and delivery timeframe I make your ring to order in my Melbourne studio and it takes me approximately ten business days for production. Once it’s ready I'll box it up and post it to you anywhere in Australia or around the world. If you need your ring a little sooner, please contact me and I'll see if I can speed up the process for you. The story behind each timber Australian Mulga (burnt caramel) Mulga is an incredibly dense hardwood that is found in the arid regions of Western Australia, South Australia, Queensland, Northern Territory and New South Wales . This timber was traditionally used to make boomerangs and spears. Australian Ancient Redgum (very dark fudge, almost black) Ancient redgum is a very special native timber. It’s been buried for thousands of years under layers of river sediment. In that time it’s been absorbing minerals in the soil and turned from red to almost black. This timber comes from Victoria. Australian Redgum (red) This iconic Australian timber can be found along waterways from Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria all the way to South Australia. Australian Sheoak (orange) This beautiful Western Australian Sheoak comes from the South West of WA.. I love the flecked grain of this native timber, it’s something very special. It’s created by the large medullary rays that run through the timber and the circular nature of the ring accentuates the pattern. Australian Fiddleback Blackwood (dark honey brown with ripple) Blackwood is a member of the acacia family and comes from Tasmania, it’s one of my strongest native timbers. It has an incredible natural shimmer that is created by the grain changing directions. Australian Myrtle (pink) This beautiful Tasmanian native timber is highly regarded for fine furniture. Australian Ringed Gidgee (very dark coffee) This Acacia is incredibly hard, one of the hardest native timbers in fact. It can be found predominately in Queensland but also in New South Wales, Northern Territory and South Australia. Australian Jarrah (burgundy red) Jarrah is found only in the South West of Western Australia and can vary in colour from light salmon to deep burgundy. I like to use Jarrah that is on the darker spectrum and burgundy in colour. Indian Rosewood (purpley brown) This highly prized timber is often used in stringed instruments such as guitars. It has an incredible smell when its being worked in the studio, hence its name. The Rosewood I have was purchased from a luthier friend and importer around 20 years ago, I still have a bit left which I use sparingly. Indian Ebony (black) This timber is incredibly hard and is often used in musical instruments such as piano’s and guitars. My environmental commitment Our natural environment is very special to me, so each time you purchase a ring from my online store I donate a tree through the Carbon Positive Australia. They're a not for profit organisation that helps to restore degraded landscapes in Australia by planting carefully selected indigenous trees and plants.
