Of all the pics here (which are all nice) I think it is a toss up between this one and the Sumac one as to which is my fav. Don't you just love the camphor smell? If I want to get my kids out of the garage and leave me alone while I turn, I just start turning a camphor piece and they hightail it out of there pronto, they don't care for it much. It is a beautiful wood.
Another nice piece. Love the wood. The only piece of camphor I had blew up on my just as I was finishing it up. It had a bark inclusion running the wrong direction. Anyway, very nice. 8)
