2020 LM A-Grade Solid Black Maire Timber – 150 × 55/50 mm (Kiln-Dried) Milling Statement: #5-06-00703/1/ This is one of our final A-grade lots of long-term air-dried and kiln-dried Black Maire timber. Once these stocks are gone, it will be extremely difficult to source this kind of legally milled, long-seasoned native hardwood again in New Zealand. Originally prepared in 2012 for our Heritage Timber Project, these timbers have now been carefully released to the public — offering a rare chance to own one of New Zealand’s most beautiful and enduring native hardwoods.
