This is a beautiful flat threaded holder made out of Cocobolo (Dalbergia retusa) with Olive Burl (Olea europaea) cap. Cocobolo is a true rosewood from Mexico with prominent darker streaking on the nice warm tone wood that ranges from brilliant orange to red, to dark brown. Considered to be one of the most beautiful rosewood, it is a very dense wood that polish up silky smooth. Recently placed on the list of export restriction, this rosewood will become a rare commodity in the near future. Olive is a tree of many religious, cultural and economic significants. The leafy branches of olive are considered as a symbol of abundance, glory and peace. Olive oil also has been considered sacred and is till use in many religious ceremonies. The oil and fruit are important ingredients in many cuisines. Olive is the most mentioned tree in the Western sacred texts and literatures. And the wood is one of my favorite with it's extra fine grain and beautiful figure. The warm tone of Cocobolo does accent the Olive burl cap beautifully.

The all-wood threaded box is a rare commodity. The screw-on cap is what make this box extra special. It can be used to hold pills and small valuables...The flat profile fits unobtrusively in a purse or pocket for people on the go, and the screw cap ensures that your content is secured. I don't make flat boxes very often. Since there is very little space to maneuver the threaded cap, flat boxes require very careful matching of the threads for a smooth, spin-on/spin-off operation.
