This is a tiny acorn box made from Snakewood (Piratinera guianensis)  with Betelnut (Areca catechu) cap.  Snakewood is also known as Letterwood, Speckledwood, and Leopardwood.  Considered to be the world’s rarest commercially available species and also the hardest timber.  It is a lustrous wood with a unique Viper-like pattern, hence the name Snakewood.  This piece was made out of a gallery grade stock of the timber, special and beautiful.  The highly figured Betelnut cap adds contrast and visual interest to the already striking acorn.

This small acorn box has a removable swivel lobster claw attachment for keychain, lanyard, zipper pull...  The screw-on cap ensures that your content is secured. Great for memorial keepsake, small daily pills or any small things you want to have access on the go...It is also a unique gift since acorn is a symbol of good luck and prosperity.
