I’ve also thought long and hard about what Nz native timber would make good handles and rifle stocks. I have a pile of Pohutukawa do you think it would work for handles?

If you're interested, I ran across a reference the other day that apparently Kowhai timber was the ideal axe handle material. No first hand experience though. I also note that it's a poisonous timber, so you'd have to be careful with the saw dust etc.
