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 and
two-tone colors
The Poplar wood sold in the United States
comes from trees that are in the magnolia family. The trees growth
range spans from the Mississippi River to the east coast of the
United States. It may not be surprising to find that the wood from
poplar trees was used extensively for buildings in that area between
the 18th and 20th centuries. Poplar
is considered a utility wood and is one of the most common utility
hardwoods in the United States. It is often used
for pallets, crates, furniture, paper, kitchen cabinets, doors, paneling,
moulding and millwork. |
