Boxwood can be vacuum impregnated with tung oil, linseed oil or artificial resins to reduce the chance of warping and cracking. It absorbs it a lot better than blackwood.

Sometimes something in the wood can react with oils and darken quite dramatically. This happened to me when I made my classical clarinet. I had to remake one joint because it went very dark and no longer matched the rest of the instrument.

Nitric or dye staining is also possible.

An unstained boxwood instrument will darken a little over its first year or two due to oxidation but not as much as seen in the Shirley Brill picture. That one does look stained to me.
