About Puriri Timber

Known for its exceptional resistance to decay, density, and toughness, Puriri has been traditionally used for: * Premium furniture * Tool and hammer handles * Flooring and restoration work * Boatbuilding and structural components

Its olive-brown colour, fine grain, and high density (often over 900 kg/m³) make it a favourite among woodworkers, turners, and collectors of rare native timbers.
