Woodturner sights in Pacific

1. Ancient Kauri Kingdom

   • Cape Reinga & Ninety Mile Beach, New Zealand
   • Sights › Woodturners

   It’s tacky and overpriced, but Ancient Kauri Kingdom is still worth a stop. Here 50,000-year-old kauri stumps dragged out of swamps are fashioned into furniture, woodcraft products and a fair bit of tourist tat. The large complex includes a cafe, gift shop and workshop. A huge kauri log has an impressive spiral staircase carved into it that leads to the mezzanine level.
