Material description

If this auction closes without any bids, it automatically extends by 14 days. This repeats until a bid is received or the seller withdraws the listing. The current closing time is shown in the auction panel.

A substantial slab recovered from a buried Ancient Kauri stump in Northland. Timber from the same excavation site has been carbon-dated to approximately 45,000–50,000 years old; this is site-associated dating, not a direct test of this slab. Air-dried for more than 10 years, kiln-dried and CNC-flattened. Solid timber retaining one natural live edge. May be kept as a feature slab or cut into beams for custom furniture and specialist woodworking. Length 320 cm; width 27–48 cm; thickness 9 cm. Approximate weight 60 kg. Check photographs and natural features carefully. Optional custom furniture crafting. AncientKauri.org brass certificate plate: additional NZ$100. Pickup Kumeu, Auckland. Indicative nationwide freight NZ$100–$250, subject to destination and delivery requirements.
