Information:
The Cottonwood Burl came from a storm-damaged tree in the Sierra
Nevada foothills north of Sacramento, California. This piece is
highly figured
with some nice birdseye.
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 and varying shades of color. |
