Camphor Laurel Stump

[MAPLEMAN]

That spanner is cool! Could be used on a piece made out of this timber. Has a nice story to it. I wonder how long it would have been there for.

Not sure how long it has been buried Rhys but i reckon many years given its appearance.
Happy to ship it to you when i send you your lot of boards ...MM

Those last boards are stunning. They could be wall hangings on their own. I'd much prefer to look at those than a painting any day!

I agree Ash...they are stunners
Glad you like 'em mate...MM

[MAPLEMAN]

Here's some 75mm x 75mm and 100mm x 100mm square sections
Nice fiddly...MM

[Jeffen]

Just keeps getting better and better!
Awesome timber MM!

Recently picked up this parcel - Premium Camphor Laurel for Box/Guitar making - that I bought off Camphorman, whoops Mapleman. Once I got it home I couldn't resist having a bit of a look at what I had. I chose 6 pieces including one book matched pair and a triple page book match, well not really, but close enough for me.

Hit them with the scrub plane then put them over the jointer, then the ROS with 60 grit and 120 grit and the attached pictures show the results. Still a bit of tearout to deal with - wish I had a spiral head jointer/thicky - but to say that I'm pretty happy with my purchase is an understatement.

Thanks Chris, more power to you.

Thanks David
Must say they have scrubbed up a treat
A lot of what i have milled thus far is as pretty as anything that i have milled in the past 25 years
Lovely color and figure and seems to slice like fresh baked bread
This stuff has it all
Cheers Dave for the positive response and pics...much appreciated...MM

Yesterday trimmed a huge chunk off the side of Stump
Fiddleback throughout
Lovely stuff...MM

Wow!!!

Can it get any better Chris? We are marvelling with every shot you take but there seems to be no end to the beauty you are exposing. It is certainly worth the effort to keep going!!!

What remains of the Stump will be loaded with fiddly
A very special project this one
Certainly worth the effort mate
Stay tuned...MM

[MAPLEMAN]

Wow!!!

Dave...i reckon you could have squeezed a chunk or 2 in the boot and some in the back seat as well ...MM

Don't believe I haven't thought exactly the same thing. Might have even been able to leave the wife there and filled up the front seat as well!
Really must get myself a Hiace size van.

Very nice Mr. Mapleman. Timber acquisition syndrome has kicked in bad!

[Kidbee]

Mapleman, is the stump timber more dense than the trunk? Have you pre-sold the stump timber to anyone?
