Well that’s the bad news but the good news is that Camphor Laurel, because of its pungent chemical compounds is a very good timber to utilize for anything to do with food preparation because these compounds are anti-microbial and remain working in the timber for its lifetime. When tested against other surfaces such as glass or plastic and other woods, Camphor Laurel harbours minimal fungi and bacteria compared to plastic or glass and also scored better on these counts than other timbers.

Possibly more importantly than the unique appearance of handmade homeware woodworking is the way it makes you feel! At this point, you might be thinking I have lost the plot but bear with me. It is a difficult sensation to convey in writing, but I am going to give it a go. In contrast, mass-manufactured boards do have an identical look about them because they use industrial glazes which are formulated to achieve that consistent finish and as result, they can look quite flat and they lack any sort of character. There’s nothing ‘grammable about an Ikea mug, but a stylish handmade mug is a completely different story!

Camphor Laurel was first introduced as a shade tree into Australia from Asia in the middle of the 19th century. It quickly adapted to the rich volcanic soils around Mullumbimby in the New South Wales North Coast, where the timber developed some of the most beautiful grains and colour ever seen. It has become a feral pest, but with the blessing of producing a much sought-after cabinet timber. As such, the harvest of Camphor Laurel trees for use in timber boards and other furniture plays an important part in managing the native forests in these regions.
