Hey folks, not posted for a while as I have been discovering so many new things at the Erewash Valley Woodturners Association!! But a friend of mine bought some wood back from his travels to New Zealand including this Rewa Rewa which I thought was absolutely stunning so thought I would post it here for all to see!

What a stunning looking piece of wood.

Certainly making the pen stand out from the crowd.

Never heard of it or seen the wood before, thanks for sharing..

That is a stunning piece of wood. I too have not heard of it before and indeed when I was in New Zealand I don’t recall having seen any pieces turned in it. Quite a find.

Soon I will ring around NZ just checked with Telstra and it is on my list of Unlimited calls to fixed lines and mobile. I will post my future results. From what I gather Rewa is like our Silky Oaks without the alergy forming of the silkies.
