At Shop New Zealand we offer an extensive range of New Zealand Made WOODEN GIFTS. In this SHOP NZ department you are sure to find a suitable quality WOOD GIFT for all occasions. Our wooden KIWI GIFTS are carefully handcrafted to produce a high quality WOOD PRODUCT in which you will be totally satisfied.
The WOOD GIFTS offered by our NZ Shop are made from New Zealand wood especially the native Rimu and Kauri. Kauri are among the world's mightiest trees, growing to more than 50 metres tall, with trunk girths of up to 16 metres. They covered much of the top half of the North Island when the first people arrived around 1000 years ago. Maori used their timber for MAORI CARVING, boat building and housing and their gum for starting fires and chewing (after it had been soaked in water and mixed with the milk of the Puha plant). The Kauri used in our HANDCRAFTED WOOD GIFTS is swamp Kauri which is dug up from underground where it has been lying for thousands of years. Ancient Kauri has a beautiful and distinctive grain. When polished, the wood is a deep golden colour with hues, textures and sheens that change under differing shades of light.
The timber of the Rimu is comparatively hard and dense and the European name is red pine. The wood is reddish brown to yellowish brown, with a distinctive figuring, or marking, of light and dark streaks. The tree is a conifer belonging to a group of forest trees, which includes the genus Podocarpus, that is widely represented in highland forests in countries on the west side of the Pacific. In the Genus Dacrydium there are about 16 species, of which seven are found in New Zealand, with representatives in Malaysia, New Caledonia, Tasmania, and Chile. Rimu is the most widespread of all New Zealand forest trees, occurring throughout the North, South, and Stewart Islands. The large trees can be anything up to 700 to 800 or even 1,000 years old.
