Ponga is the Maori name for the native NZ tree fern. It was once a valuable source of food, building materials, weapons, and inspiration for Maori who, it is believed, also used the patterns to tattoo (moko). The unfurling fern frond (koru) symbolises new beginnings and new life. This product is enviromentally sustainable.

This native NZ tree fern product is hand made in New Zealand. The spectacular pattern is completely natural. Each circular pattern shows where a fern frond grew on the tree. Once the outer fibrous bark is removed. The peices are then shaped and dried to make them suitable for export. The kiln drying process used to cure the wood intensifies the natural colours and enhances the tecture.
