This is a round box made out of Mun Ebony (Diospyros mun) with Verawood (Bulnesia sarmientoi) cap. Mun Ebony is my favorite ebony species for several reasons: the wood is very fine and easy to work with, the patterns can be very striking and a hint of green make this ebony special, the wood is very stable, dimensionally. This acorn was made out of a very nice ebony piece with lighter streaks. The green tint Verawood cap brighten up this dark acorn. This combination showcases top notch timbers from two continents.

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 to maneuver the threaded 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 1-1/4"
