This is a beautiful flat threaded holder made out of Tulipwood (Dalbergia decipularis) with Black Chacate (Guibourtia conjugata) cap.  Tulipwood is an exotic wood from South America. It is a hard and heavy wood, with a  fine texture that polished up with little effort.  The multicolor streaks show their best on a flat cross-cut.  So, I have to make a flat box out of this timber to showcase its beauty.  The color mix here is jus awesome. 

The all-wood threaded box is a rare commodity. The screw-on cap is what make this box extra special. It can be used to hold pills and small valuables...The flat profile fits unobtrusively in a purse or pocket for people on the go, and the screw cap ensures that your content is secured. I don't make flat boxes very often. Since there is very little space for the hands to open or close the cap, flat boxes require very careful matching of the threads for a smooth, spin-on/spin-off operation.

Dimension (largest diameter x height): 1-7/8" x 1-1/4"
