boxwood
Dense ornamental shrub
Boxwood is a dense, fine-grained wood from the box tree, prized for carving, engraving, and woodworking.
Its hardness and smooth texture make it ideal for chess pieces, musical instruments, and detailed crafts.
The term also refers to the slow-growing evergreen shrub itself, commonly planted as hedges: a neatly trimmed boxwood border.
