LV-2814 Yellow Box Burl & Cocobolo Acorn Pendant Box, Pill Fob, Charm-SCREW CAP

$ 58.00


This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Yellow Box Burl (Eucalyptus melliodora) with Cocobolo (Dalbergia retusa) cap.  An interesting Eucalyptus species from down under, the famed Yellow Box has perfumed, cream coloured blossoms which are a source of honey with excellent taste (its botanical name Melliodora means honey-scented).  The wood is as dense as boxwood, thus the common name.  The burl is pretty, loaded with eyes and swirls, as seen even in this tiny acorn.  Cocobolo is a true rosewood from Mexico with prominent darker streaking on the nice warm tone wood.  It is a very dense wood that polish up nicely.  

A nice box for your valuables. The screw-on cap makes this nature inspired box extra special and ensures that your content is secured. It is ready to dangle off your keychain, bag zipper, belt with the removable lobster claw. The nut is small enough to be worn as a pendant (without the claw). Good for small daily pills, keepsake...Not recommended for long term storage of emergency pill, since I don't know how air/water tight the closure is. Through the ages, people has given out acorns as a symbol of prosperity and luck. This one is a unique gift.
