This is a nice mini acorn box made out of Redheart (Erythroxylon mexicanum) with Betelnut (Areca catechu) cap. Redheart is an amazing wood to work with. I have never seen a wood with such vibrant red hue. The cheerful wood shaving scattered all over my lathe, like remnants of red firecrackers during Lunar New Year celebration. The wood is very fine grain with beautiful figure. Redheart, however, does not retain its bright red color with exposure to UV light, so I applied a UV resistant coating to deter fast fading... The eye catching Betelnut complements this vibrant acorn.

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.
