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.
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.
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.
