Looking for manuka or other native hardwood
Kia ora. My son has been asked to carve a special piece for a 21st birthday next month. We have been trying to source a long piece of either manuka or black maire. It needs to be at least 6ft long-maybe a little shorter, 4inches thick by 6inches wide (sorry Im old school). If anyone has a piece lying or can direct me to a source it would be greatly appreciated. Willing to pay a fair and reasonable price. Can do contactless contact especially if close to Papakura. Thank you.
