Please do not bid on our Swamp Kauri items unless you are already familiar with this unique timber or have worked with it before. Swamp Kauri is a heritage wood, buried in the swamplands of Northland for up to 45,000 years. While it is still perfectly workable, it is not the same as freshly cut living 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. Pickup / Delivery: • Pickup: Kumeu, Auckland • Nationwide freight available at buyer’s cost • We can cut the slab and provide simple packing to suit your transport requirements • North Island: $150–$300 • South Island: $400–$600
