This is a nice mini acorn box made out of Camatillo (Dalbergia congestiflora) with Verawood (Bulnesia sarmientoi) cap. Camatillo is a true rosewood species with a beautiful deep purple color and darker streaks.  It is one of the rarer timber since the tree never grow very big. The wood is extremely fine, polishes up to a hard shine.  Verawood is a fine, hard and heavy wood (also known as Argentine Lignum Vitae) with a nice green patina after exposure. The cap of this box was turned and let to "aged" in my workshop for awhile to achieve the green tone, which will deepen with time.

A beautiful and unique box for your keepsake, this acorn is great for small daily pills, keepsake, jewelry or any small things you want to have access on the go. The screw-on cap ensures that your content is secured. It is also a unique gift since acorn is a symbol of good luck and prosperity.
