LV-1795 Afzelia Xylay & Black Palm Acorn Trinket Box, Keepsake, Jewelry Box-SCREW CAP

$ 95.00


This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Afzelia Xylay with Black Palm (Borassus flabellifer) cap. From SE Asia, Afzelia is mostly known in it's burl form. The plain timber is not often available. Here it's the wood with a special figure called xylay, which looks almost like a quilted form in Maple. This type of figure does not extend deep into the wood, so the pattern show up in one side of this acorn. The other part shows the wood grain of the species. This timber has a nice orange tone and hard and dense enough for my threading. The Black Palm cap adds another set of visual interest.

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

Dimension (largest diameter x height): 2-1/8" x 3"
