This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of California Buckeye Burl (Aesculus californica) with Mun Ebony (Diospyros mun) cap. Buckeye is one of my favorite species around here: beautiful leaves, massive flower heads, picturesque form, interesting fruit and bluish burl wood that looks like none other! The bluish stain Buckeye burl is something very special. It is one of the few wood that exhibit this kind of color, add the wild pattern and it is truly unique. This particular acorn was made out of a very nice burl with lots of swirls and eyes. The Ebony cap is also highly decorated with subtle stripes. I like this one!

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 symbol of prosperity and luck. This one is a unique gift.
