Sherlock Holmes (the movie)

Went to see it last Saturday with my wife and our niece (she's in her 40's). My wife and I enjoyed the movie.

Boxwood, anyone?

Hello to all.

I'm thinking of buying a wooden flute in boxwood. I really like the looks of the wood, but I am wondering about any issues that usually go along with boxwood instruments. Particularly, what about warping?

Thanks to all who reply.

With best regards,
