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.
