New Zealand

[glycerine]

I have a neighbor whose son just left for New Zealand for college. Are there any nice woods that are native to New Zealand that would be worth asking him to find and send me???

Jeremy, I have some Ancient Kauri - if that is the way you decide to go. If you send me a PM, I will be sure to pick out some extra nice pieces for you...

Here is a link if you want to read more about the wood..

I bought some nice abalone shell pieces from New Zealand, if your set up to cast.
