Description
Castello Boxwood (Calycophyllum multiflorum) is a premium hardwood originating from South America, particularly Brazil and Argentina. It is prized for its pale, creamy-yellow heartwood, often showing subtle hints of golden hues. The grain is typically straight and fine, although it can occasionally exhibit slight undulations, and the wood’s very fine, uniform texture contributes to its impressive luster.
Renowned for its workability, Castello Boxwood is easily machined and carved, making it a favorite for precision items such as fine furniture, musical instruments, inlays, and intricate carvings. Its exceptional hardness and density also make it ideal for high-precision applications like mathematical instruments, turned items, and fine art objects. The wood polishes to a smooth, glossy finish, enhancing its visual clarity and refinement.
Castello Boxwood is highly dense, offering outstanding dimensional stability and resistance to wear. Its durability and resistance to decay further enhance its appeal, ensuring longevity in various applications.
As one of the most sought-after hardwoods in specialty woodworking, Castello Boxwood remains a staple in fine craftsmanship. Sustainable harvesting practices are essential to maintain its availability for future generations. Its timeless beauty, reliability, and versatility make it a favorite among artisans and craftsmen alike.
