This rare timber is prized for its stunning grain patterns, rich golden-brown hues, and remarkable stability. Each piece tells a story spanning millennia, making the Lion a truly unique piece.\u003cbr\u003e\nImpurities, cracks, knots and nail holes are signs of the natural material and its previous use. Courtney considers these markings a thing of beauty, purposely preserving and including them to celebrate and honour the history, age and natural beauty of the timber.\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial\u2028Swamp Kauri\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions\u2028255mm long × 85mm wide × 140mm high\u003cbr\u003e\nOne of one.
