    Default Seniors moment - need help identifying strongly scented wood

    I did know it but for the life of me can’t remember what it is - I milled a heap of it from some old timber that I bought from a mate and am giving these pieces to another mate to use for fly rod handles (along with some huon pine, celery top pine, scented rosewood and queen ebony blanks) - but would like to be able to tell him what it is.

    Perhaps the most telling/identifying thing that I can tell you about this timber is that when being worked it has a very strong and (to me) pleasant scent somewhat similar to linseed oil

    Thanks Pat, to be honest that’s not what I’d remembered it as and didn’t pick the smell as Camphor, but I reckon you’re right, it certainly looks like it. Very much appreciated.
