CAMPHOR LAUREL (Cinnamomum camphora)

This tree is not a native to Australia and was introduced from Asia around the 1850’s. The timber is extremely popular in craft work due to its beautiful colour, figure and aromatic nature. It is also popular with cabinetmakers for drawer bases etc. due to its insect repellent properties.


JARRAH (Eucalyptus marginata)

With its beautiful rich colours, interesting grain and occasional gum veins, Jarrah remains one of the world’s most desirable and sought after hardwoods. The tree grows to a majestic 40 metres in height only in the south west corner of Western Australia.
