Camphor Laurel was introduced to Australia in the early 1800’s as an ornamental shade tree and many large old specimens can still be seen in parks and reserves throughout Australia but particularly in the Eastern states. Another species of Camphor Laurel was introduced in the mid 1800’s and the hybrid cross that resulted is the rather straggly and thin, invasive tree that is rampant in Northern NSW and Queensland. Camphor Laurel invades habitats where land has been cleared, has a strong competitive advantage over native vegetation and is toxic to many native fauna. As a result it has been declared a noxious weed in many parts of NSW and Queensland by the departments of Primary Industry.
As handmade homeware woodworking converts, we wanted to explain the true value of handmade homeware woodworking and why we believe it is 100% worth the investment. Handmade homeware woodworking is dual purpose – you are really getting bang for your buck as they say! Not only is it a marvel on the eyes but it’s also functional and serves a purpose. Take a beautiful handmade ceramic jug, it can be used as a vase with stunning flowers to form a centrepiece on a dining table, or for your morning juice or if you’re feeling practical, to water your much-loved house plants. The same just doesn’t apply to mass-produced, because no matter how much you like it, an Ikea jug cannot be described as art!
So the next time you’re looking at buying a chopping board why not consider a beautiful and functional Camphor board that has been made right here in Australia. It will reduce the number of potentially harmful bacteria present during food preparation and also help with the sustainability and on-going management of native timber stands in north-eastern NSW. Color can be highly variable depending on species and growing conditions; generally a light brown, frequently with shades of gray, red, or olive green. Occasionally contains darker streaks. Paler sapwood isn’t always clearly differentiated from the heartwood. Burls are also commonly seen, and are considered highly decorative.
Every board is handmade from natural timber, and finished with food safe oil. No two boards are the same, each piece has its own unique grain and characteristics. Any imperfections such as small knots or crevice’s have been carefully filled with food safe epoxy resin. The boards in the photos are an example of what you are likely to receive when purchasing. Made and designed in Australia. Our Premium Camphor Laurel boards produce stunning grains and a beautiful aromatic smell. They are considered one of the best when it comes to food preparation due to the natural anti-bacterial properties found within the wood. Read additional information on stonewoodcollections.com.au.
