This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Redheart (Erythroxylon mexicanum) with Mun Ebony (Diopsyros mun) stem. Redheart is such an interesting timber with such striking color. I have never worked with a wood with such vibrant red hue. The wood is very fine grain with beautiful figure. It is self-evident that an apple-red wood should be made into apples, so apples it becomes. Look delicous enought to eat! Beside being branded as THE forbidden fruit, apple has many connotations and a unique gift that teachers love to receive from their pets. An apple threaded box is a more difficult item to make since I have to match the threads and the wood grain as well, but what fun!

A nice box for your valuables, about the size of a real apple. The screw-on cap makes this nature inspired box extra special and ensures that your content is secured, good for jewelry, keepsake... Great as gift for the apple of your eyes!

Dimension (largest diameter x height): 2-3/4" x 3"
