Information:
The 6,000 Year Old Swamp Kauri was growing during the ice age when
Woolly Mammoths were roaming and was buried by
natural cataclysmic events. This Swamp Kauri is the oldest workable
timber on Earth. The tree was discovered by a utility company
which were preparing to install utility poles and they came across a
huge Kauri tree buried in the ground in New Zealand. The tree was
removed and pieces were sent for carbon-dating and these were
determined to be around 6,000 years old. This particular piece of
Swamp Kauri has nice swirly figure, cracks/fissures, and varying
shades of color. The Black Maire is from the North Island of New Zealand. Black Maire is the hardest of New Zealand's native woods. This particular piece has both Heartwood and Sapwood which gives a nice two-tone color and provides a nice contrast to the 6,000 Year Old Swamp Kauri. |
