Ancient Kauri is derived from several prehistoric forests, some more than 50.000 years old. These forests are on the North Island of New Zealand. Buried under peat swamps before the last ice age, the trees were left lying just beneath the surface of the ground. This underground resting place, sealed from the air, became a perfect balanced cocoon that preserved the timber.
The worlds oldest workable timber.
