LV-1422 Pistachio & Ebony Hand Turned Wooden Acorn Trinket Box, Keepsakes, Jewelry Box-SCREW CAP

$ 120.00


This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Pistachio (Pistaschia vera) with Malaysian Blackwood (Diospyros ebonaceae) cap. Yes, it is the tree with the yummy greenish nuts. The wood itself also has a nice green tint; some specimens also display beautiful swirling grain, like what you see here. Rotate this piece around and feast your eyes on the multicolors and the incredible figure! Endemic to the island of Malaysia, this so called blackwood is a true ebony species, also known as Asian Ebony. It is quickly becoming a favorite tone wood among guitar makers. The dark wood is closed grain, stable, with a reddish to greenish sheen and subtle multi-color stripes. It is one of my favorite, too, high up there on my active-hoarding list. This acorn is super smooth and heavy! I like this one!

A nice box for your valuables. The screw-on cap ensures that your content is secured, good for jewelry, keepsake... Through the ages, people has given out acorns as a symbol of prosperity and luck. This one is a unique gift.
