Lemonwood (Calycophyllum candidissimum, Degame. Sometimes called Castello Boxwood) This is not the wood of the lemon tree, but so called because of a pleasant citrus smell when the leaves are rubbed. More popular than boxwood because of its cost, lemonwood is an excellent engraving wood. Lemonwood is pale straw in colour with very even density and shares many of the properties of true boxwood. It comes in bigger sections than boxwood making it easier to construct large blocks. |
