Description
Castello Boxwood (Calycophyllum multiflorum) is a dense, fine-grained hardwood that originates from South America, particularly in Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. It has a pale yellow to golden hue that gradually deepens as it ages. The wood’s grain is generally straight, and its naturally smooth texture makes it well-suited for applications that require a polished and refined finish.
This wood is highly regarded for its excellent workability, making it a preferred choice for detailed woodworking projects such as carvings, inlays, and turned items. The high density and fine grain of Castello Boxwood make it well-suited for precision work, including the crafting of musical instruments, chess pieces, and tool handles. When polished, the wood displays a refined, smooth surface that highlights its natural beauty and consistent color.
With impressive resistance to wear and excellent stability, this wood is ideal for projects that demand precision and longevity. While slightly lighter than traditional European Boxwood, it serves as an excellent and sustainable alternative.
Castello Boxwood remains a highly valued material among artisans and woodworkers due to its ease of use and elegant appearance. Sustainable forestry practices are essential to ensure its long-term availability for future generations.
