Bowerbird (http://www.bowerbirdtimber.com/) that I do a few deliveries for, will be selling Ancient Kauri turning blocks at the show that is carbon dated at 45,000yrs old, no idea on prices but they are a decent size. Like 400mm x 400mm x 150mm for example
Will be quite a few to go around, in fact about 3 1/2 ton :o, this box on the back of my truck is chocka block full of them :;

Want a guard for the shipment DJ? I'm not very good as a guard, and will most likely lose one enroute, but I am FREE! :U

So, rang the Embassy looking for a Sherpa.
They repeated my request, with question mark:
'You want a Sherpa to carry an old Hawaiian?'
And it goes downhill from there :wink:

Ern not sure what drugs/pain killers you are on for the injuries but it may pay to lighten off a bit for a while

Strong drugs ... got one of the ancient Kauri blanks.
Hope it's good; fluffy outsides on most of them made it hard to get an idea of how the grain ran but Tim was helpful.

You could call or email them early next week at the yard after I have shipped back what wasn't sold and yes there will be some left :yes:
Contact details are in the link provided in my first post
