Cascara

 

Growing as a small deciduous tree in the big-timber regions of the Pacific Northwest, the cascara buckthorn (Rhamnus purshiana) contains a medicinal extract in its bark that's a sure cure for one of mankind's most common maladies.

Cascara wood varies from yellow to orange-brown in color and is easy to machine and finish but is seldom sold commercially.
