These are Glenarley pipes made by Sydney Pipemaker Dale Jackson.
Ringed Gidgee is chosen for the visual features, the tonal quality and the stability of this sustainable Australian native timber.
All the ferules and imitation horn embellishments are screw cut for assembly as further testimony to the stability and ease of machining offered by Gidgee.
The machined finish of Gidgee is so reliable that all the tenon slides are hemp free and replaced with neoprene o-rings.
Dale can be contacted at sqcjack@gmail.com for further information.
