Boreal Wood

Boreal Wood is the Snow Biome replacement for normal wood. Its properties are generally the same as that of normal wood, but it can be used to craft its own unique set of furniture. It is obtained by cutting down trees within the Snow Biome.

Boreal Wood does have slightly better stats for tools, armor, and weapons (Example: Wood Armor has a total of 3 defense with a full set, and Boreal Wood Armor has a total of 4 defense with a full set).

Boreal Wood uses ice torches instead of normal ones to craft Boreal specific lighting.

Boreal Wood cannot be used by the Living Wood Wand or the Leaf Wand.

Its name likely spawns off of "Aurora Borealis", the northern lights that you might see in the sky at night in places such as Greenland.
