I have that term saved and every time someone posts free wood....I can check it out. So I go....and discover a hippy like aroma to this wood I'm cutting (guy let me use his electric chain saw) and I'm like.....what the heck kinda wood is this? Come to find out, the owner tells me its Camphor. He suggests I look up to see if it's safe to burn. Probably not a big deal, but you might get naseaus...... Heck I get that way from my bourbon, don't need no wood messing me up... So, I left with a couple chunk of fresh laurel oak he cut.... Was worht the trip just to learn about the smell of camphor!!
Neat, I haven't run into camphor since I was in school in northern California. I think I remember it being pretty dense, but this was about 16 years ago.
