oldest workable wood
The coniferous tree agates oustalis, bast known by its maori name kauri is one of new zealand's largest trees. prehistoric kauri can be found buried in peat which has preserved both the wood and sometime the bark and speed cones. These swamp kauri are usually 3,000 year old but some excavated trees have been radiocarbon - dated to around 50,000 year old. The wood itself is often in excellent condition and once dried can bemused to make furniture. The grain in ancient kauri pieces is termed whitebait as it is thought to be similar to shimmering effects created when sunlight strikes a moving shoal of three fish shown here is a whitebait serving platter.
