This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Eastern Dogwood (Cornus florida) with Tamboti (Spirostachys africanus) cap.  Eastern Dogwood is another rarely seem domestic timber.  The wood is very fine grain, hard and dense.  I really like the unique pinkish tint of dogwood, add the multi-color streaks and you have a very pretty thing.  Capped with figured Tamboti, also known as African sandalwood for the pleasant scent when work.  The darker cap adds contrast and another set of subtle figures.

Dimension (largest diameter x height): 1-7/8" x 2-5/8"
