This is a prehistoric timber preserved underground for tens of thousands of years. While kiln-dried and workable, it behaves differently from modern commercial timbers. Expect: • Natural cracks, checks, and minor movement • Unique grain figures and prehistoric markings • Colour and density variation between pieces • Some irregular edges or natural bends Each piece is one-of-a-kind, valued for its story, age, and character, not for uniformity.
