KAURI TIMBER FOR SALE
I bought this Kauri timber about 50 years ago after the original Gear Meat Works in Petone were demolished. It has been stored in my garage since then, though l used some in restoring our home back in the 1980's.
There is about 25 lineal metres of Kauri and it is 12" wide and 2" thick. (300mm by 52mm)
The image shows this timber in its machined and polyurethane painted state, over forty years later and untouched since then.
Kauri is perfect for creating custom furniture, panel doors, moulded architraves, skirting, kitchen cabinets etc. No nails, very few holes, this is clean, old timber, milled 150 years ago.
I'm selling the whole lot as one package so please don't ask for small lengths. Kauri has been unobtainable since the 1940's and long lengths like these are very hard to source.
You can reach me on 027 499 1212

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

🌍✈️ Why It's Plane Sense to Challenge the Flight Path ✈️🌍
Wellington Airport announced some 'Gamer Changer' information in the news. New infrastructure could mean bigger and louder planes over our suburbs, affecting more residents. Massive aircraft like the Boeing 777X and Airbus A350-900, are twice as loud as the jet flights we experience today. Using AI, we’ve created a visual comparison of these new planes—take a moment to check it out.
💡 What can we do? We need to act now to revert the flight path back over the harbour, rather than turning left after takeoff and climbing over the slopes of our peak terrain - Mount Kaukau. But to do that, we need your support.
📢 We’re raising $25K by 2025, and we could use your help to reach our goal. Help us take action.
