What Is Ancient Kauri
Ancient Kauri is a unique material with an amazing beauty and intriguing history. It is commonly regarded as the oldest wood in the world. The Ancient Kauri logs have been buried underground in New Zealand for 
approximately 50,000 years. There is a limited amount of Ancient Kauri on the planet. It is rare to find such an exotic material that is made available through environmentally friendly methods.
Ancient Kauri is the most exotic wood in the world, it's an extremely old growth timber, but not one tree was cut down to harvest it. All the trees were felled thousands of years ago by natural forces. The Ancient Kauri has a powerful beauty. The grain and tones of the wood are lovely, and there is an unusual shimmering iridescent chatoyance within the grain. The glow of Ancient Kauri adds to its beauty and illustrates that this is no ordinary timber, but something quite special. It makes anything built from Ancient Kauri more like a jewel then a block of wood. It is perfect for projects that require an extraordinary material.
