About Camphor Laurel

One of Australia’s most popular turning timbers. Camphor Laurel is prized for its beautiful colour variation — from pale honey tones through to rich reds and deep browns, often within the same piece. The timber has a distinctive camphor scent when freshly cut or turned, and finishes to a smooth, lustrous surface.

Working Properties

• Janka Hardness: 5.0 kN — medium hardness, easy to turn
• Grain: Interlocked, often figured with beautiful patterns
• Turning: Excellent — holds detail well, minimal tear-out
• Finishing: Takes oil and wax finishes beautifully. Danish oil or EEE/Shellawax recommended.
• Drying: Blanks are air-dried. May benefit from further seasoning depending on your project.

Kiln dried and ready to work

All of our timber is kiln dried to Australian standards, so it arrives stable and ready to be worked.

Because timber is a natural product, not all stock is ready to send immediately. Occasionally we need to mill your timber to the size you’ve specified before dispatch.
