Rimu, also known as 'red pine', is one of New Zealand's most popular native timbers. Maori used this wood to build canoes, tools and weapons and its gum was applied for medical purposes.

Paua, pronounced ‘Paw uh,’ is the Maori name given to New Zealand’s unique variety of Black Foot Abalone — renowned for its lustrous bluey-green and purple shell colourings. Such is the esteem of the Paua, Maori consider it taonga (a treasure) and a gift from the god of the sea, bearing delicious meat and fine material for traditional art
