Tauhou | Wax-eye

Also known as silvereyes, tauhou arrived in New Zealand naturally during the 1800s. Their name means “stranger” or “new arrival”; today they are familiar visitors to gardens, feeding on insects, fruit and nectar.

This coaster features original Hiriwā Digital Art artwork engraved into reclaimed rimu. The timber’s individual grain and colour give each piece its own character.

These handcrafted wooden coasters are a collaboration with fellow small business owner and friend, Brentwood.nz. Crafted from reclaimed rimu by Brentwood.nz, each coaster is engraved by Hiriwā Digital Art with original artwork.

Each piece is individually hand finished. Natural variations in the timber’s grain and colour make every coaster unique.

One wooden coaster, approximately 10 × 10cm. Dimensions may vary slightly because each piece is finished by hand.

Coasters are sold individually. Choose the quantity you’d like, or mix your favourite bird designs to make your own set.

Wipe gently with a damp cloth, then dry. Avoid soaking, dishwashers and abrasive cleaners to care for the timber and engraved surface.

All orders are sent with online tracking. Free New Zealand shipping applies to eligible website orders of $100 or more, excluding Pet & Iris Portraits.
