Absolutely box elder. Be aware that the brilliant red will fade with time. Everyone hopes it won't, but unless you keep it in a drawer, it's going to fade.

Is there anything to keep the colors from fading (besides hiding it in a drawer)?

Nothing that I've ever heard of and it's discussed all the time on WTU. Someone is always trying a new finish or combination for BEB and purple heart.

So, the red color is caused by fungus, which as the fungus dies off the color begins to face. I wonder if there is a way to preserve or stabilize the fungus to prevent the fading? I might touch base with one of the microbiologists I work with to see if they are aware of anything that can help hold the color. Should be an interesting conversation tomorrow :laugh:
