There is no danger of your order being confiscated and destroyed at the border! We are 100% legal and licensed importers for North America. We bring the wood into the US soaking wet. We kiln dry the wood here in the USA to a moisture content of 8%. Ancient Kauri is a unique material with an amazing beauty and intriguing history. It is commonly regarded as the oldest wood available in the world. Ancient Kauri has been buried underground in New Zealand for approximately 50,000 years, yet it is as workable as newly-harvested wood.The Ancient Kauri has a powerful beauty. The grain and tones of the wood are lovely, and it has a powerful shimmering irridescence.

Ancient Kauri is the most exotic wood in the world, it's an extremely old growth timber, but not one tree was cut down to harvest it. All the trees were felled thousands of years ago by natural forces, and one certainty is that there is a very limited amount of Ancient Kauri.
