This is a very pretty apple shaped box made out of Redheart (Erythroxylon mexicanum) with Brownheart (Vouacapoua americana) 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"
PLEASE READ:
-- All wood turned items were hand made and/or hand threaded on a lathe. Hardwood threaded inserts were used for woods that do not accept threading well.
-- The item was sanded to 1200 grid for a mirror finish and sealed with a food-safe varnish, if applicable. For hard, fine grained wood with a natural shine, only wax and oil was applied.
-- Each piece offered is a unique item. The design may be repeated but the dimension and wood combination, and or decorative accent will be different
-- Artist signature and catalog number will be inscribed on the item
-- I ship via USPS First Class mail (or Priority Mail if requested). Combined shipping is the highest shipping cost plus $2 for each additional item. Free shipping for 5 or more items purchased at the same time
