This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Bocote (Cordia elaeagnoides) with Greenheart (Chlorocardium rodiei).  From Next door Mexico, Bocote is a golden wood with dark streaks and wild pattern.  It is one of a few woods that can exhibit extreme figures.  Couple with the high contrast for the most striking effect.  The wood is heavy, fine grain and is a great wood for turning.  Greenheart is an interesting timber from South America.  I really like the color combination of this small acorn!

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