Intoduced into Australia from Asia about 1850 it is regarded as a noxious weed due to its invasive habit. <br /><br />However, the wood has a wonderful grain and the oils preserve it in its milled form. This following site has some gorgeous images of milled and also turned camphor wood<br /><br />http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.hobbithouseinc.com/personal/woodpics/camphor/camphor,%2520figured%25201%2520bc%2520closeup%2520web.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.hobbithouseinc.com/personal/woodpics/camphor.htm&usg=__cQsdp_4TZILExTHFNQGINYAqczo=&h=324&w=432&sz=15&hl=en&start=20&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=wZFN8mvWU3K1xM:&tbnh=95&tbnw=126&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcamphor%2Bwood%2Bimages%26hl%3Den%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-gb:IE-SearchBox%26rlz%3D1I7GGLJ_en%26sa%3DX%26um%3D1Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550214407269277609.post-75323399338714435542010-02-07T22:48:53.236+11:002010-02-07T22:48:53.236+11:00Well if you can't spell for nuts, then I'm...Well if you can't spell for nuts, then I'm in the same league 'cause I reckon you are pretty damn close!<br /><br />Meaning the wood from a camphor laurel tree?
