Swamp Kauri is a prehistoric wood, buried in the swamplands of Northland for up to 45,000 years. While it remains perfectly workable, it differs from freshly cut timber: • Natural cracks, resin lines, or grain movement are common. • Each piece is unique, requiring patience, skill, and care. • Its beauty lies in its ancient depth and character, not in perfection. Thank you for appreciating this rare and irreplaceable piece of New Zealand’s natural heritage.
