Swamp Kauri is a prehistoric wood buried in Northland’s peat swamplands for up to 45,000 years. It is still perfectly workable but behaves differently from modern timber. • Many boards feature natural cracks, tension, or grain movement. • Each piece is unique and requires patience and care when working. • Its beauty lies in its ancient character — not in perfection. Please bid only if you understand and appreciate these characteristics. Good luck — and thank you for valuing a rare piece of New Zealand’s natural heritage.
