We are a fun crew doing some great work in the cemetery and learning about its history as we go.
If you can spare a few hours on a Sunday afternoon, then we would love to hear from you! There's no commitment to come every time and we find tasks suited to interests and abilities - from cleaning headstones, to clearing weeds and sweeping graves.
So if you would like to find out more, or be added to our Working Bee email list (where we advise dates, times and meeting places) then please email us: secretary@friendsofkaroricemetery.co.nz

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
