Kauri wood has a mystical appeal due to its rarity, beauty and spiritual significance, which makes it a sought-after material for handicrafts and furniture making. It has an aesthetic grain and golden to amber tones. Its unique history gives it a mystical character. In Maori culture, the trees are considered sacred and associated with the history of creation and divine beings. Some believe that kauri wood has energetic properties that promote calm, strength and harmony.
The kauri trees from which I make the fancy wooden tables come from New Zealand and have fallen due to natural disasters in the last 100,000 years and lie there in the swamps.

From coffee tables to impressive large conference table grown in one piece I can make from the huge Kauri trees. Unique solid wood table tops from a kauri tree trunk with a quiet natural character and pristine root wood with fascinating charisma I could select individually in New Zealand.
Over the past thousands of years (3,000 to well over 100,000 years), the giant kauri trees have repeatedly toppled due to natural disasters and have been buried under masses of mud in various eras, sometimes in several layers. In the process, nature perfectly preserved the large fallen trees to the exclusion of oxygen. The buried primordial trees (swamp kauri) are one of the greatest treasures preserved to mankind. Kauri wood is the oldest known wood on earth that can be processed for beautiful furniture and tables.
The oldest living kauri tree in New Zealand: The 2000-year-old "Te Matua Ngahere - Father of the Forest" is 29.9 m tall, has a circumference of 16.41 m and 5.22 m in diameter. In the past, kauri trees were much older and larger.
Today, all living kauri trees are protected. During their lifetime, these extraordinary trees grew up to 50 meters high and had a diameter of 4 - 5 meters.
Ice ages in other parts of the world caused entire generations of trees to die. Nowhere else in the world are there so many well-preserved and ancient trees in the ground as in the Northland, in the north of New Zealand's North Island. The ancient kauri trees even play a major role in climate research of past eras.
It is fantastic that the ancient Kauri wood has withstood the forces of nature and still remained as wood, and that I can now make beautiful solid wood tables from it, which can still bring joy to people as heirlooms and precious valuables.
In this natural wood table with a table top of 2,900 year old root wood shows the beauty of the fascinating Kauri solid wood.

The unique grain of the root wood runs in different directions and gives the root wood table its incomparable charm.
Only the prehistoric Kauri root wood offers the possibility to make tables with ingrown golden amber original from the Kauri tree with a beautiful eye-catcher. This is how I produce unique natural wood tables, which do not have to be too expensive by bypassing the trade.
