I am wondering if anyone has experience using "Brazilian boxwood" for binding (or anything else).

Thanks.

I've used it many times Alex. Both easy to work and bend. Certainly softer than the European Boxwood that I've come across. Lovely Lemon Yellow colour when freshly planed but does dull somewhat over the years. Forms a nice contrast with either Ebony or Rosewood.
