Kauri ClocksThese Kauri Clocks are made from Swamp Kauri trees. No live trees are cut down in this process. All of our Kauri clocks are individually formed. The natural form and colour make each clock unique ensuring no two clocks are ever the same. Each Clock has at least three coats of resin to produce a top quality finish. Each clock is packaged using a special foam disc to protect the face and hands while in transit. The single AA battery that is required is removed for overseas orders at New Zealand customs request. The Kauri clocks below are the actual pictures of clocks in our store right now. When purchased we will either delete the purchased picture or put a sold sign on it. More about swamp Kauri
The giant Kauri tree is the most famous New Zealand native timber and one of the largest trees found anywhere in the world. Growing Kauri trees have been found as old as 4000 years with heights up to 150 feet and girth to 60 feet. Today New Zealand legislation prohibits the felling of any growing Kauri tree. Thousands of years ago a huge natural disaster caused many Kauri forests to be flattened and the trees to be buried in swamps. The wood was perfectly preserved and radiocarbon dating has revealed that some of this wood has been buried for up to 50,000 years. The clocks have been scientifically prepared using the natural shape of the wood, which of course makes each clock unique and no two can be the same. Kauri Clocks
