Camphor Laurel Bowl Blank 180 x 70mm

Craft your next masterpiece with our Camphor Laurel bowl blank, prized for its striking grain patterns, rich golden to reddish-brown hues, and signature camphor aroma. This wood is not only visually appealing but also turns smoothly, making it ideal for both novice and professional woodturners.

Origin:
Sourced primarily from eastern Australia, Camphor Laurel (Cinnamomum camphora) is a non-native species introduced in the 1800s. It has since become an invasive species, especially in Queensland and New South Wales, where it outcompetes native flora and alters ecosystems.

Sustainability:
Our Camphor Laurel blanks are responsibly harvested as part of local land management and environmental restoration programs aimed at reducing its ecological impact. By repurposing this invasive tree into high-quality wood products, we contribute to restoring native habitats while providing turners with a beautiful and functional material.

Features:

• Dense, aromatic hardwood with excellent workability

• Unique colour variation and dramatic grain

• Sizes suitable for bowls, platters, and artistic pieces

Each blank is carefully selected and cut to ensure minimal defects and maximum character. Turn sustainably—and beautifully—with Camphor Laurel.
