Boxwood Veneer
Boxwood
is also known as Abassian, Circassian, European, Persian, or Turkey Boxwood, depending
on the country of origin. It is found in Europe, western Asia, and North America.
Boxwood sapwood is usually distinct and pale grey-brown in colour, being lighter than the heartwood, which is usually pale brown but sometimes yellowish in colour.
The grain is fine, uniform, even textured and usually interlocked.
Boxwood veneer polishes to an excellent finish (clear finish is often used to preserve its unique colour).
