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.

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.

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.

Stonewood Collections aims to provide you with the same products as shown on the website. However all our products are different in colour, texture and grain as the timber taken is grown at different climates with different amounts of water and sun. Due to the different timber or stone used, colour, texture, tone and grain this is NOT possible, please ensure you carefully read the product description before purchasing. Also, colours displayed on your computer monitor, mobile phone or other electronic device may vary due to your selected colour settings. The shape and size are also slightly different as all boards and products are uniquely selected and handcrafted, so no two pieces will ever look exactly the same, each piece is unique and one of a kind. Our incredible woodworkers are incredibly talented at what they do, we are sure you will love your new product. Find additional info at https://stonewoodcollections.com.au/.
