Ancient Redgum Wren

For thousands of years remnants of ancient Redgum forest remained buried in the gravels of the old Murray River bed until excavations exposed them. Test carried out on the wood indicate the trees of this deposit were flourishing more than 5000 years ago - long before the pyramids were built. The discovery of this distinctively coloured timber has provided Australian crafts pieces of indigenous character and historical interest. The perfect material to compose stunningly hand crafted gifts like this little wren, inlaid with Silver Ash and specially combined with Redgum timber, to bring you all the colours of Australia.

Each article crafted from Ancient Redgum is presented with an information card outlining the material’s discovery, origins and its unique properties.
