This is prehistoric timber preserved underground in Northland for tens of thousands of years. It is fully workable but not the same as modern plantation timber. You may find: • Natural cracks, checks, or gum veins • Variations in colour and grain • Prehistoric features and unique figuring • Slight bends or irregular shapes Every piece is unique, and its value lies in its history, rarity, and ancient character. Good luck with the auction, and thank you for appreciating this rare part of New Zealand’s natural heritage.
