LV-4416  Madrone Burl & Black Palm Acorn Pill Box, Secret Compartment-SCREW CAP

LV-4416 Madrone Burl & Black Palm Acorn Pill Box, Secret Compartment-SCREW CAP

$ 89.00


This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Madrone Burl (Arbutus menziesii) with  Black Palm (Borassus flabellifer) cap. Madrone is known as Strawberry tree, Madrona, or Madrone burl.  This is a unique Pacific hardwood that has pink & tan colors with an occasional red streak. Its burls grow almost exclusively underground and must be dug up sometimes by hand and then pressure cooked and milled.  The burl wood has subtle pattern, eyes and swirl. Madrone is one of the dense, hard local woods that I really enjoy. Black Palm, with it's unique crosscut pattern is very well suited for an acorn cap.

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.
