Swamp Kauri is a heritage wood, buried in Northland’s swamplands for up to 45,000 years. While it is perfectly workable, it differs from freshly cut timber. • Many pieces naturally contain cracks, tension, or movement in the grain. • Each piece is one-of-a-kind and requires patience, care, and respect when working. • The beauty of Swamp Kauri lies in its prehistoric character, not in perfection. Please bid only if you understand these characteristics and are comfortable working with them. Good luck, and thank you for appreciating this rare and ancient wood.
