Mahoy is a conifer like wood that is a very beautiful, deep cherry red in color, but is also a very hard wood, making it especially fragile when dried, unlike normal wood. It's a very, very difficult wood to work with and only a handful of woodcrafters have the skills to work with it, and even they have trouble successfully carving even a single piece of it. Due to the difficulty in carving it, due to its fragile nature that causes it to shatter with even a single wrong move or light blow, a carved piece of Mahoy fetches a very high price, and some carved pieces can earn a single woodcrafter as much, if not more money from just one piece than they would typically earn in an entire week of work.
