This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Timborana (Piptadenia spp.) with Betelnut (Areca catechu) cap. This is a rare timber from South America with lustrous grain and bright color. My first time working with this wood and am impressed. The wood is hard and dense, with subtle figure and chatoyant. Capped with another truly unique Betel nut for added visual effect. This is one striking acorn!

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 daily pills, cash stash, keepsake... Through the ages, people has given out acorns as a symbol of prosperity and luck. This one is a unique gift.

Dimension (largest diameter x height): 7/8" x 1-3/4"
