Shadewood

Shadewood is the Crimson replacement for normal wood. It works the same exact way as normal wood but has a blue-gray tint. Shadewood can be acquired by chopping down trees that have been afflicted by the Crimson. Shadewood has better attributes than if you crafted something from normal wood (example: normal wood sword does 7 damage while a shadewood sword does 10 damage).

Palm trees that have grown on Crimsand will give this wood instead of Palm Wood. There exists no crimson variant of Palm Wood.

A good tactic for procuring shadewood early on is to use your axe as a weapon as well as a tool. While chopping trees, face the direction of any approaching threats. Early-game axes have arguably impressive knockback, making it a great option for a multitasking tool to fend off enemies and get shadewood simultaneously.

Shadewood will not spread the Crimson.

Shadewood is the second best wood for crafting equipment, only being beaten by Pearlwood. as it has higher damage, defense and tool power than most other woods.
