Plum wood

Plum wood, from trees in the genus Prunus (commonly Prunus domestica), is native to Europe and western Asia but cultivated worldwide for its fruit. It is a dense, fine-grained hardwood with a warm reddish-brown color, often featuring rich, contrasting streaks. Physically, it is moderately hard and heavy, with good durability but limited resistance to decay. Its aesthetic appeal lies in its vibrant coloration, smooth texture, and ability to take a fine polish. It is a desirable wood for small, high-end woodworking projects, musical instruments, and decorative objects.
