This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Bois de Rose ( Dalbergia maritima) with Black Walnut (Juglans negra) cap . Bois de Rose is one of the rarest and most beautiful types of true rosewood.  Nice, fine grain wood with color ranges from dark maroon to purple to almost black with dark streaks.  This wood will become unavailable in the near future, as all legal exports have stopped permanently.  This acorn is cross-cut to show off the black streaks in this timber. Black Walnut has unique pattern just perfect for an acorn cap. It is not very easy to thread, but well worth the effort!

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 a symbol of prosperity and luck. This one is a unique gift.
