gidgee or brigalow

[Mat]

Hi,

I currently purchased a few cube of brigalow for a furniture project for the wife and have come across a few pieces of darker timber. From my knowledge brigalow and gidgee grows in the same environment so I'm assuming that a mix up could easily happen.

Does anyone know if this could be gidgee?
I can add more photos of end grain and so forth if needed. Any help would be appreciated.

I'd say brigalow , despite the heartwood being pretty dark . That's wider sapwood than any gidgee I've ever bought in . Gidgee does occasionally grow alongside brigalow though generally brigalow is on wetter , more fertile ground , gidgee is further west .
What's the weight cube out to , gidg is significantly heavier .

Thanks for the information Curly. I've been slowly working through the stack and placing the purplish more colourful pieces to the sides for guitar making and leaving the less crazy for furniture making.

Thanks again for the information.
