Description
Castello Boxwood (*Calycophyllum multiflorum*), also known as Argentine Boxwood, is a dense and fine-grained hardwood native to South America, particularly Argentina and Paraguay. It is prized for its pale yellow to creamy white coloration, which darkens slightly with age, and its exceptional uniformity in grain and texture. These qualities make it an excellent substitute for traditional European Boxwood, which is less readily available.
Castello Boxwood is extremely hard, dense, and durable, yet it is highly workable, allowing for precise carving and turning. It polishes to a smooth, glossy finish, which highlights its natural beauty. This wood is particularly valued for intricate applications such as musical instruments, fine carving, inlays, chess pieces, and turned objects like pool cues and tool handles.
Its combination of durability, workability, and refined appearance makes Castello Boxwood a favourite among woodworkers and artisans. Additionally, its availability as a sustainable alternative enhances its appeal for projects requiring fine detail and long-lasting quality.
