Additional
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.
Honduras Rosewood
is a
very hard and heavy wood with multi red and brown colors. Honduras
Rosewood has a distinctive rose fragrance. This wood has been sought
after hundreds of years ago from furniture and musical instrument
makers. Honduras Rosewood sometimes produces a burl in which the grain is radically deformed because of some
stress or damage and makes small birdseye knots.
This burl wood is highly figured and is sliced into veneers and thus accounts for
much of its rarity and price. The Honduras Rosewood Burl that I use
has been sustainably harvested. This
piece of burl
complements the 6,0000 Year Old Swamp Kauri nicely. |
