orangewood

Fine-grained cabinetry material

Orangewood is wood from the orange tree, prized for its fine grain and hardness.

It's commonly used for manicure tools—orangewood sticks push back cuticles without damaging nails.

The wood also appears in small turned objects and was traditionally used for engraving tools: She used an orangewood stick to clean under her nails.
