LV-3659  Blue Mahoe & Verawood Eggplant Threaded  Box, Needle Case-SCREW CAP

LV-3659 Blue Mahoe & Verawood Eggplant Threaded Box, Needle Case-SCREW CAP

$ 98.00


This is extra long eggplant shape trinket box made out of Blue Mahoe (Hibiscus elata) with Verawood (Bulnesia sarmientoi) cap. Blue Mahoe is Jamaica's national tree. A rare timber, it is one of the wood with unique purplish-blue color and nice, subtle sheen that is very difficult to photograph. I cut this eggplant cross-grain to display the multicolor gradation of the timber. It was a rather difficult operation since this wood is prone to tear out.  Definitely worth the trouble! Just look at it! Verawood is another unusual wood which turns green upon exposure, a nice color combination just for an eggplant!  This is nice!

This threaded box can be used to hold small valuables...The screw-on cap ensured that your content is secured; also serves as a unique gift for nature lovers
