Not sure about miniritchie, but it looks deadset exactly the same as fiddleback Blackwood which is much easier to source.

You could take a drive out to Western Qld and look for some but it's just as hard to find ringing in Mineritchie as it is any other acacia

I have a small slab of ringed gidgee (~1.5x400x50) I scored many moons ago at price, thought the price was very high at the time
, but the figure was amazing and I couldn't resist. It has since x4 in value, so I now consider it a good investment
. It is hidden away in my stash waiting for an appropriate project. Many people have requested a few slices for knife scales. I'm in Vic so couldn't help you anyway.
Here is a mob that may be able to help loggerheads: knife scales , blocks and pen blanks LOGGERHEADS I've never dealt with them, so can't say what their product is like.Neil____________________________________________Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new

Wow
What a coincidence. A mate of mine who is a prospector, gave me a bundle of timber about 10 years ago. I found some of it last night and it was Minnaritchie (sp). Anyhoo, I have turned it before, so cut some ready for pens. I thought it was a WA goldfields timber?

Have you tried "desert timbers"? There is an address here https://www.woodworkforums.com/archiv.../t-126021.html
