The final of the giants

Knysna Woodworkers provided these distinctive Outeniqua Yellowwood slabs to a nature conservation website close to Nelspruit. Often known as Qalandar (Podocarpus falcatus) – It is a protected tree. This explicit tree was felled by SANParks in Diepwalle Forest (simply exterior Knysna). It was given FSC approval as a result of the tree was dying. It was shedding branches and hollowing out on the base.

I additionally completed the slabs to point out the attractive grain and texture that Yellowwood is thought for.

It was between 700 and 900 years outdated, and reached a peak of 40m and a diameter of two.2m. That is most likely the final time a yellowwood tree of this dimension can be obtainable. Measurements: 2200 x 1800 x 200 mm thickness.

A “small” department of the identical tree was additionally slabbed and a novel yellowwood espresso desk was created as a memorial to this historic tree. Measurements: 1.2 x 800 x 160 mm thick.
