AK250090 – Ancient Swamp Kauri stump Slab 550×110/100x12cm Milling Statement: #7-01-02416 AncientKauri.org Registration: AK250090 Original log number : MY11B Five matching slabs are available from the same log (MY11B), offering similar dimensions, grain structure, and quality. A certified Ancient Swamp Kauri stump slab of impressive scale and presence — ideal for a high-end dining table, river table, or a statement centrepiece. This slab was recovered from a buried kauri stump in Northland under MPI-approved milling. Logs from the same excavation site have been carbon-dated at approximately 45,000–50,000 years old, placing this timber among the oldest workable wood on earth. The slab has been air-dried for over 10 years and will be kiln-dried shortly, ensuring long-term stability while preserving its rich golden grain and prehistoric character.
