My first time turning camphor - fantastic smell - just like Vick's vapour rub :U
I picked up a large log for $4 at the Melbourne wood show, and I've been able to get 6 natural edge bowl blanks from it. Happy with that.
The form is a bit strange, but I was trying to maximise the color, and a nicer shape would have cut most of it away.
About 150mm in diameter, sanded to 600 and finished with traditional wax.
