Ancient Kauri

It's called ancient kauri, and it's up to 50,000 years old. Yes, 50,000! The oldest workable wood in the world, ancient kauri shows just the earliest signs of petrification. Called "whitebait," this phenomenon creates small veins of mineral deposits that give the wood a one-of-a-kind luminescence.

50,000 years ago, in what is now Northern New Zealand, a major natural event felled huge forests of kauri trees that had been growing for some 2,000 years. This event also created bogs in the area that protected these giants from the elements. Today these trees are typically found under farmland from which they are carefully excavated before the ground is returned to its previous contours.

Just for some perspective, here are a few things that happened on Earth less than 50,000 years ago…

  • 16,000 years ago the depressions that would become the Great Lakes were fully formed.
  • The last Ice Age ended approximately 5,000 years ago.
  • Homo Sapiens reached the area from which these trees were recovered only around 40,000 years ago.

Sinker Cypress

Prior to the onset of modern industry and logistics, loggers practiced log driving, where floating logs down river to a temporary sawmill was the first step in the process of creating lumber. The term "lumberjack" comes from this process. Occasionally logs would sink and become trapped in the silt at the bottom of the river. If enough silt was laid down before rot and erosion set in, the log was preserved.

Today these century-old remnants of pre-industrial America are recovered from the bottoms of river beds, becoming one of the most sought-after varieties of reclaimed lumber on the market.

I love tge feel of these blankets. However, they shed really bad. We have blanket fuzzy embedded in all of our clothes from these blankets. I have washed them several times.

Light, soft, comfy, cozy, but not hot!
Color: Dark Sage Green, Size: King/Cal King
I've been looking for a blanket to replace a Berkshire blanket called "Perfect Touch" I've had since 2009 and this is it! I wanted something light weight, comfy, and cozy that doesn't get so hot like many do. When I first got it i thought it might get hot because its soooo fluffy, but it doesn't. I know some have complained about shedding or it coming apart after washing. I've washed it several times, following the washing instructions provided and haven't had any issues at all, really nice quality for the price! Oh, and its cat approved too.

Cute for girl's dorm room! Needs a wash/dry warning.
Color: Pastel Lilac, Size: Twin/Twin XL
Wash/dry by itself. Leaves lint on anything and everything that is washed and dried with it. Kiddo learned the hard way. Loves the blanket and it's feel and color but was disappointed with the left-over pills on the rest of her items from that 1 load. Soft, fluffy and lavender. Great for her dorm!

Beauty Quality Excellent Price!
Size: Queen (90x90 Inch), Color: Olive
Wonderful quality blanket! It’s light weight, warm without being heavy, beautiful rich color. Super fast shipping. Came in a smallish box and I was a little worried it would be cheap, but being experienced with items that come with the air sucked out so I waited to see. Sure enough, once the plastic was off it fluffed out and I popped it in the dryer for 5 minutes and all the wrinkles were gone too! I absolutely don’t need a bed spread because the finish looks like expensive silk velvet! I’m buying more for the other bedrooms! I ordered a Queen, olive, 90”x90”, price is incredible and I would have paid double to get this kind of quality! Love the rich feel and gorgeous color of this blanket. I know they call it olive but it is actually a deep luxurious fern from an untouched dark forest filled with fairy houses and wonderous beings! I’m getting another, sigh…

Exactly as described
Size: Throw XL (50x70 Inch), Color: Navy
I wanted to get the little longer size, to help cover my feet while I sleep, because I sleep in a recliner due to back issues. Wow! The material is super soft, and keeps just at the right temperature of warmth at night, so the material breathes well. The extra 10 inches is a godsend now.. My feet stay warm all night long now. So the fit is perfect! The quality of the blanket is great, I’ve had no problems with it. Although my white watch band is now blue.. so I guess the color likes to bleed a bit. I haven’t washed it yet, but I will wash it either alone or with dark colors, because I believe it will bleed its color a bit in the wash & perhaps in the dryer. Still, with it being so comfortable and soft, I would highly recommend this blanket to everyone!
