LV-3774  Hand Turned Apple Salt & Pepper Shaker, Secret Compartment from Tulipwood & Koa

LV-3774 Hand Turned Apple Salt & Pepper Shaker, Secret Compartment from Tulipwood & Koa

$ 89.00


This is a fun apple shaped container made out of Tulipwood (Dalbergia decipularis) with Koa (Acacia koa) stem. Brazillian Tulipwood is a true rosewood with very pretty redddish veins on a light background. It is one of the brighter and more colorful rosewood. A small piece of Hawaiian Koa serves as the pull-out stem for this whimsical shaker.

Once in a while, I got request for salt shaker, so I have been thinking about that.  Here is a new concept for a shaker that will work for any fruit with a small stem.  The bottom has a rubber plug for easy filling of the content.  The removable stem acts as a plug for the container, so your spice stays dry, and ensures that the small hole does not get encrusted. Pull the stem up, shake out the salt (or whatever finely grounded spice), and plug it up again.  The stem can also be permanently attached with a small amount of wood glue to turn this apple into a piggy bank type  container.  This is a cute addition to your kitchen, or gift to your favorite teacher!
