This is a beautiful flat threaded holder made out of Mun Ebony (Diospyros mun). Mun is my favorite ebony species for several reasons: the wood is very fine, stable and easy to work with, the patterns are often very striking, and a hint of green tint make this ebony special. Just look how gorgeous this box is with all the multi-color stripes! It is the wood that I am actively hoarding, since it is always feel like a pregviledge while working with such fine timber. Mun is also the reason why I became a woodturner, as stated elsewhere.

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): 2" x 1-1/8"
