Boxwood
- Heartwood and sapwood are not distinct from each other, resulting in the overall color to be a light cream or yellow color that darkens slightly overtime from prolonged exposure to light.
- Grain tends to be straight to slightly irregular.
- Texture is fine and even with a natural luster.
- Heartwood is durable; however, it can become stained with dark streaks resulting from a fungal attack.
- Occasionally susceptible to insect attack.
- Can be difficult to work in flat dimensions, however, it turns wonderfully.
- Pieces with irregular grain patterns can cause planer tear out and other machining difficulties.
- Can have a slight blunting effect on cutters.
***FUN FACT: Oils from the wood can be used to treat a variety of illnesses such as epilepsy, toothache, fever, or to treat flu symptoms. ***
