LV-4963 American Holly & Staghorn Sumac Wooden Mushroom Threaded Box

LV-4963 American Holly & Staghorn Sumac Wooden Mushroom Threaded Box

$ 145.00


This is a very special mushroom shaped box made out of American Holly (Ilex opaca) stalk with Staghorn Sumac (Rhus typhina) cap. Looks like mushroom season is approaching here at my neck of the wood.  Holly is the whitest wood available commercially, perfect for mushroom stalk!   An ornamental tree native to Eastern North America, Staghorn Sumac is a wood that possess a green color, and more. The wood is porous so I had to spend a long time stabilizing and sanding before it became this shimmering rainbow. Staghorn sumac is a source of a natural dye and the wood also fluorest under black light! What a fun and unique thing! 


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
