The giant Kauri tree is the most famous New Zealand native timber and one of the largest trees found anywhere in the world. Ancestors of todays kauri date back to the Jurassic or Permian period (230 million years ago). Growing kauri trees have been found as old as 4,000 years with heights up to 150 feet and girth to 60 feet.
The timber from these magnificent kauri trees was extemely valuable and most was exported to European countries. Today New Zealand legislation prohibits the felling of any growing kauri tree.
Thousands of years ago a huge natural disaster caused many kauri forests to be flattened and the trees to be buried in swamps. The wood was perfectly preserved and radiocarbon dating has revealed that some of this wood has been buried for up to 50,000 years.
Natural Wood Creations extracts huge kauri logs and stumps from the swamps and breathes life into these relics from the past by meticulously creating beautiful hand-crafted clocks which have appreciating value.
The clocks have been scientifically prepared, using the natural shape of the wood, which makes each clock unique and no two are the same.
Now Apex Trophies and Awards bring these spectacular items to you at a very reasonable cost with clocks starting from just $99.00 including GST.
