Heritage. Craftsmanship.

TIMBER  Davies Furniture has a commitment to using rediscovered timbers. Preserved in the swamps of the North Island, ancient Kauri is regarded as the oldest workable timber in the world. Naturally felled, they have been preserved for some 40,000 years in these timeless Peat swamps. The passing of centuries only serves to capture the natural beauty and strength inherent in this stunning wood.

Similarly, Davies use Rimu, Totara, and Oak for their beauty, age, and individual grain characteristics. These timbers have excellent working qualities which allow the craftsman to maximise the beauty and individual characteristics of each piece.
