Boxwood

Boxwood is one of Britain's finest native hardwoods — exceptionally dense, fine-grained, and creamy-yellow in colour. Prized for centuries by craftspeople of all disciplines, it's as at home in the hands of a carver, engraver, or instrument maker as it is on the lathe. Our Boxwood pieces are sourced in natural branch form, offering character and variety in every piece.
