I was lucky enough to get some Camphor from Vergelegen. The company I work for does the set for the annual Starlight Classics at Vergelegen and my Project Manager who was on the job saw these abandoned lumps of wood lying around and asked if I would like some. I said he should pack as many as he could in the truck and bring them back to JHB. The Camphor trees at Vergelegen are over 300 years old. #camphor #woodturning #wood #handmade #vergelegen #cinnamomumcamphora https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu1YCMZAQEa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y4l2xgk54yub
