Camphor Burl [Cinnamomum camphora] is a truly extraordinary burl wood, coming mainly from Southeast Asia, Vietnam in particular. With a rich, reddish primary color—and others swirling—Camphor Burl is most notable for its amazing figure, as well as color, rivaling that of even the most impressive burl woods from around the world.
The walls of the hollow form, with its classic profile, have been turned to a very thin dimension, all through the half inch hole at the center. It was finely sanded and sealed; after sealing, Danish oil was rubbed into the wood, followed by hand rubbing with a combination of carnauba and beeswax in a light solvent. This finish has a very light and transparent quality. For decorative use only.
