Turned from genuine Ancient Kauri – the oldest workable wood in the world – this elegant bowl holds both natural beauty and deep history. Buried and preserved in New Zealand wetlands for up to 50,000 years, Ancient Kauri is not fossilised, but perfectly preserved timber from the last Ice Age, making it one of the rarest and most exclusive woods available to turners.
The grain shows the soft golden warmth Kauri is prized for, with subtle shimmer and flowing figure that reveals itself differently in every light. Smooth, balanced and tactile, this bowl is designed to be admired and handled – a functional form made from a material older than civilisation itself.
A true once-in-a-lifetime turning blank, shaped into a one-off piece.
Dimensions:
27.5 cm diameter
9.5 cm tall
Wood: Ancient Kauri (New Zealand)
