14.68 LM A-Grade Solid Black Maire Timber Lot – 55 × 53 mm Milling Statement: #5-06-00703/1/

A rare chance to secure one of New Zealand’s hardest and most beautiful native hardwoods. This premium A-grade Black Maire was originally collected in 2012 for our Heritage Timber Collection, then air-dried for over 10 years and kiln-finished recently for stability.

With our workshop now fully shifting to Ancient Swamp Kauri projects, this 55×53 mm Black Maire lot is among the final remaining batches from our long-held stock. Once sold, there may be no more available.
