These trees are among the oldest living organisms on Earth with some specimens older than 2,000 years. It is thought that some groves may have existed for 10,000 years. Huon Pines grow slowly (1mm per year in girth) often taking centuries to reach their full height. The wood is highly prized for its golden-yellow colour, fine grain, and natural oils, in particular, methyl eugenol which gives a distinctive smell and makes the timber resistant to decay.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-AU\"\u003eHistorically huon pine was highly valued by ship builders, but after many years of overharvesting, it is now protected. Only fallen timber may be harvested by registered entities in designated areas. For this reason, it is very valuable and is sought after by artisans for woodworking, musical instruments and decorative items. \u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-AU\"\u003eThese sachets contain the shavings gathered from Garry’s lathe.
