The wood of the plum (Prunus domestica) is very hard. It is to carve very clean, but its hardness does not make it easy to carve it.
The wood is reddish brown in the core, while fresh with purple stripes, and yellow in the sapwood. The drawing is clear. The wood is hard and easy to process.
Polished and oiled, one could keep the wood thoroughly for mahogany.
