This heritage timber was buried in the swamplands of Northland for up to 45,000 years. It is fully workable but naturally different from modern plantation timber. Boards may contain: • Natural cracks or gum veins • Internal tension or minor grain movement • Colour variation and prehistoric figure • Slight bends or natural shape features Every board is unique, with character shaped by thousands of years underground. Its beauty comes from its history and ancient depth — not from machine-made uniformity. If you appreciate working with special heritage timbers, this lot will be highly rewarding.
