I’ve been working at work with some Camphor veneer. That is one great looking wood and I love the smell of it to. Wish I could find some camphor lumber over here in the states. Show us some of your finished projects from that wood.

okwoodshop- if you take a look at some of my projects you’ll see some things turned out of camphor. It can have a really nice grain and is very easy to work with. I’ll post some more pics of this log when I get it cut up.

cabinetmaster- I love the smell of it too. There’s no shortage of it over here, its actually been declared a weed in some parts and is bieng bulldozed and burnt.

NO WAY…....................... Man I wish I could get some of it. That shows that some do not know the value of certain woods.

Great score on the wood. Hope to see your projects from it. Went and looked back at your stuff. All very nice designs and turnings.

Keep up the great work.

and Keep posating “Wood Gloats” I love to hear about them also.

Scrappy

-- Scrap Wood's the best...the projects are smaller, and so is the mess!

My best source came from giving a wave & a smile to what is now a good friend.

Can’t wait to see what your new score reveals.

Nice going!

-- Eric

Glad you like my blog! I’ve added you as a friend so I can follow along with your adventures. You’re turning great pieces at not even half my age, which means when you’re my age, you’ll be a rockstar of woodworking!

Awesome wood find, too. I’m vicariously excited.
