Well that’s the bad news but the good news is that Camphor Laurel, because of its pungent chemical compounds is a very good timber to utilize for anything to do with food preparation because these compounds are anti-microbial and remain working in the timber for its lifetime. When tested against other surfaces such as glass or plastic and other woods, Camphor Laurel harbours minimal fungi and bacteria compared to plastic or glass and also scored better on these counts than other timbers.
Possibly more importantly than the unique appearance of handmade homeware woodworking is the way it makes you feel! At this point, you might be thinking I have lost the plot but bear with me. It is a difficult sensation to convey in writing, but I am going to give it a go. In contrast, mass-manufactured boards do have an identical look about them because they use industrial glazes which are formulated to achieve that consistent finish and as result, they can look quite flat and they lack any sort of character. There’s nothing ‘grammable about an Ikea mug, but a stylish handmade mug is a completely different story!
Camphor Laurel timber has also been found to have innate anti-bacterial properties due to the naturally occurring oil in the timber, which makes it ideal for use in breadboards. The naturally occurring chemicals that provide these properties include; camphor, safrole, cineole, cinnamaldehyde, fatty acids, mannitol, limonene, tannins, terpineol, eugenol, pinene, linalool, and geraniol (3, 4). The kiln drying used in the processing of the timber ensures that these chemicals will not contaminate food prepared on the boards.
Every board is handmade from natural timber, and finished with food safe oil. No two boards are the same, each piece has its own unique grain and characteristics. Any imperfections such as small knots or crevice’s have been carefully filled with food safe epoxy resin. The boards in the photos are an example of what you are likely to receive when purchasing. Made and designed in Australia. Our Premium Camphor Laurel boards produce stunning grains and a beautiful aromatic smell. They are considered one of the best when it comes to food preparation due to the natural anti-bacterial properties found within the wood. Find additional details on stonewoodcollections.com.au.
