My daughter just returned from a vacation trip to New Zealand and brought me this wood. The center piece is Kahikatea. Starting at the top and going clockwise - Black
Beech, Pohutukawa, Swamp Totara, Ancient Kauri, Miro, Rimu or Rena? and the square is Figured Rimu that came from an old beam. Looking forward to turning something nice for her.

She did contact some people from a wood turning club who were very helpful and some offered wood from their private supply. She chose to purchase from a dealer because of the custom issues.
