KAURI GALLERY

The New Zealand Kauri (agathis australis) from which our exquisitely crafted pieces are made, grow in Northland New Zealand. Most of the Kauri was felled in the last century. At present only .3% of the forests remain... The main trunk was the most valuable part of the tree and was used for shipbuilding, building and furniture. Much was exported. Stumps and heads were usually discarded and were burnt or left to rot. Material for our produces are made from these 'waste' parts which was retrieved from hills and valleys around the north...
