Many of us are aware that Camphor Laurel is considered an ecological pest but it has a good side too – it makes excellent boards for use in the kitchen or for any applications to do with food because of its unique combination of bacteria destroying oils. The Camphor Laurel used in our boards has been sourced through active involvement in the various eradication programs where the Camphor Laurels are removed to make way for native regeneration. The timber used in our boards has been kiln dried to below 10% moisture content which ensures that they will never warp or crack and that is something we guarantee absolutely.
One of the biggest hurdles in the handmade homeware woodworking world is the price and perception of value. When you can walk into Next or M&S and buy a set of 4 mass produced boards for £20, it can be hard to comprehend why you’d pay the same amount and more for a single handmade homeware woodworking mug. But there is so much more to handmade homeware woodworking than meets the eye. We are slowly moving away from the throw-away culture we live in, with minimalism becoming a popular interiors trend and people practicing mindful spending. As a result, homeware woodworking and handmade items are becoming ever more popular and there is definitely a shift in mindset with consumers wanting more unique and bespoke items in their home and making more conscious decisions around what they spend their hard-earned cash on.
Camphor Laurel was first introduced as a shade tree into Australia from Asia in the middle of the 19th century. It quickly adapted to the rich volcanic soils around Mullumbimby in the New South Wales North Coast, where the timber developed some of the most beautiful grains and colour ever seen. It has become a feral pest, but with the blessing of producing a much sought-after cabinet timber. As such, the harvest of Camphor Laurel trees for use in timber boards and other furniture plays an important part in managing the native forests in these regions.
Camphor Laurel is considered better than plastic cutting boards because of tight grains that wash off the microbes, and moisture after washing. It does not get marked easily like plastic cutting boards. Though plastic cutting boards seem easy to clean, they can have hotspots of bacteria as compared to Camphor Laurel that has natural anti-bacterial properties. Timber cutting boards are extremely durable and can be your kitchen partner long term. Camphor Laurel cutting boards have been described as one of the best food preparation surfaces because of its natural anti-bacterial properties found within the wood. Not only are they one of the best surfaces for chopping and cutting they are also ideal for serving your favourite food as well. Timber cutting boards are kind to your knives.
