Swamp Kauri is a prehistoric timber, preserved in Northland’s peat swamps for up to 45,000 years. Although fully workable, it behaves differently from modern, freshly cut timber. Expect: • Natural cracks or gum features • Internal tension or movement • Unique grain patterns and ancient coloration Every piece is truly one-of-a-kind. Its beauty lies in its prehistoric character, not in perfection. Good luck, and thank you for valuing a rare piece of New Zealand’s natural heritage.
