Collection: Cinnamon Camphor

Cinnamon Camphor is a medium textured species with colors that can be highly variable depending on species and growing conditions; generally a light brown, frequently with shades of gray, red, or olive green.

Grain can be straight, interlocked, and/or wavy, with a high natural luster and a slightly greasy feel. Rated as durable, with mixed resistance to various insect attacks.

Camphor’s moderate density makes it easy to shape and machine with minimal effort. Areas of interlocked grain may cause tearout issues, but complications are usually minimal.

Camphor has a very characteristic odor, for which the tree is named. The most recognizable product that contains the extracts of camphor are medicated chest rubs, which have the same distinct scent.

Uses
