    Unhappy Camphor Laurel

    Happy 2009 to all.

    Looking for a source of Camphor Laurel. Would like to have a crack at turning a chess set I have designed, so I guess it would need to be dried? I live in the Blue Haven area of the Central Coast in NSW.

    Many thanks --- Jonkacel2

    How about Mal Ward? (See Greg Ward on this Forum). They transport timber from the North Coast to Sydney regularly.
