A note from jim .... this precious wood is in limited supply and very, very expensive. I only have a few board feet left and a few board feet coming of the Kauri wood... if you are interested in having something very special made ... please speak up and we can work out the details. To care for something made by mother earth is a special privilege and should not be abused or taken for granted. I respect this wood and pray to Grandfather that, with careful selection of its use and my workmanship... I will be guided to make something worthy of this material given to me.
