The largest single piece of wood that was available in the United States has been purchased by Vineyard 7 & 8. Finished this spring, the 20-foot slab was flattened, filled, sanded, oiled and waxed to become a beautiful table made a single piece of wood.

The table was finished with organic linseed oil followed by an organic linseed oil/beeswax polish. The end result was a very durable, velvet finish on a timeless piece.

What you are seeing. - This short film is displaying some of the shimmer that is found in the grain activity known as whitebait.

It is a grain activity that is only found in the ancient kauri and due to its unique iridescence is very difficult to capture on camera.

What you are seeing here is only a fraction of the whitebait effect that is seen in person, but it should help to give you an idea of how the grain behaves.

We are still working with different methods of filming and soon will have footage that can more actuatly display the full effect.
