Always down to the wire! 😃 70 Firesteels almost ready for the Off Grid Living Festival in Eldorado Vic this weekend. Ringed Gidgee, Deer Antler, Buloke, Black Olive Wood sourced from Bethlehem and a couple of random burls. Just got to drill the lanyard holes for the hand dyed Vegetable tanned leather cord and add the Striker. It's going to be an awesome weekend at the festival, drop by my stall and say Gidday!

Ringed Gidgee Firesteel handle freshly turned. This is my favourite Aussie timber to work with to make handles, everytime I finish turning one I spend the next few moments appreciating the beautiful iridescence of the wood in the sunlight. Ringed Gidgee is the Opal of woods. I wish the photo did it justice. If you are wanting to try some out, I source mine from The Timber Joint, They stock a large range of pieces to choose from. They are great to deal with and the quality of timber is always excellent.
