Many of us are aware that Camphor Laurel is considered an ecological pest but it has a good side too – it makes excellent boards for use in the kitchen or for any applications to do with food because of its unique combination of bacteria destroying oils. The Camphor Laurel used in our boards has been sourced through active involvement in the various eradication programs where the Camphor Laurels are removed to make way for native regeneration. The timber used in our boards has been kiln dried to below 10% moisture content which ensures that they will never warp or crack and that is something we guarantee absolutely.
Handmade homeware woodworking, whether thrown on the wheel or built by hand, retains the texture of the clay even when it is glazed. Depending on the design, you can sometimes feel some gritty bits of the earthy clay under your fingers and thumbs when you touch it, which somehow creates the connection between you, the earth, and the product. Sometimes, you can still see where the item has been removed from the wheel and it retains the gorgeous rhythmic lines as a reminder of its handcrafted nature, and of the maker behind it. It feels weighty, which automatically conveys quality and, if we’re talking about a stylish handmade homeware woodworking mug, warm and full in your hands which conjures up a feeling of cosiness and comfort.
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.
