Speaking of antique woodenware reminded me of a question I've had for some time. I have about 40 pairs of old Belgian bobbins. They were inexpensive years ago although now they are not to be found at any price. The wood is light and hard, shiny too. When they hit each other the sound reminds me of cue balls knocking together, when playing pool. I heard somewhere that these bobbins were made from boxwood. Is that even reasonable? And what is boxwood anyway? I can take a photo of one and email it to anyone interested. The bobbins are really just the ordinary ones that everyone used to use in Bruges years ago.
