Description
This is a fine sounding top timber from Tasmania where it is highly protected. Our timber was recovered from a lake which was flooded in 1972. It is a very oily timber impervious to water. Huon is one of the oldest living trees on the planet. The faces we are working from are estimated to be 3000 to 3500 years old. As the centre of the tree rots out it is hard to determine the exact age.
