This is a beautiful flat threaded holder made out of Mun Ebony (Diospyros mun) with B&W Ebony (Diospyros embryopteris) cap. This box utilized two beautiful ebony species from SE Asia. Mun Ebony is one of the most beautiful ebony around, often decorated with wild streaks and figures. The wood is very fine grain and stable, ideal for threaded items. It is my favorite material for flat boxes. The dark wood goes well with any other wood color, it also provide accent and contrast. The subtle figure adds visual interest without much distraction, a plus when paired with a wildly figured wood. Black and White Ebony is such a wildly figure wood. It is one of the most interesting ebony with such contrast in grain pattern. The wood is also extra fine grain. This is pretty!
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.
