About unique camphor laurel chopping boards.

Camphor Laurel is a beautiful, rich-honey coloured timber with a clean, fresh camphor smell that is perfect for medium sized cutting boards, huge carving boards and everyday bread boards.

Cinnamomum Camphora was introduced to Australia from Asia in the 1820s.
