Kauri

Yo Sam

I don't think much kauri is being milled. But I did buy a 6 foot 2 x 6 demolition plank for $18 dollars from a building recyclers in Hamilton. Just because I could.

I stopped at one short plank because although it was beautifull and totally New Zealand it weighed (relatively) a tonne compared to western red cedar. Consequently I will incorporate the kauri into my expedition single project, but strategically and sparingly.

Cheers Pete
