Natural timber: sizes are approximate, and every board varies in grain and colour.

Product Details

Everything you need to build a camphor laurel serving board from scratch — a great weekend project to do with the kids.

What’s in the kit

  • One camphor laurel mini-slab, dressed on both faces, ready to work (choose your size below)
  • Four sheets of sandpaper — 80, 120, 240, and 320 grit
  • U-Beaut Foodsafe Oil 250mL — Australian-made, non-toxic, food-safe for boards that touch food
  • Step-by-step finishing guide (PDF, included with your order)

How it works

Sand through the grits in order — 80 to remove any mill marks, 120 to smooth, 240 to refine, 320 for a silky finish. Wipe on the foodsafe oil, leave overnight, and it’s done. Camphor laurel takes oil beautifully and the grain shifts from pale straw to warm green depending on the light — the kind of board that gets noticed when it comes out at dinner.

Camphor laurel is naturally food-safe and has a mild, pleasant scent while you work it. These slabs are dressed on both faces and ready for the sanding stage — no milling required.

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.
