peachwood
Soft pink lumber
Peachwood is the wood of the peach tree, valued in East Asian traditions for its purported ability to ward off evil spirits and negative energy.
Carved into amulets, swords, or talismans, it appears in Chinese folk religion and Taoist practice.
The wood itself is dense and fine-grained, occasionally used in small decorative objects or tool handles.
