This is another red acorn shaped box for the Holidays Season, made out of Redwood Burl (Sequoia sempervivens) with Scarlet Oak (Quercus coccinea) cap.  Redwood is the state tree of California and can grow to giant proportion. A stroll in the towering Redwood forest is a memorable experience.   The species holds the world record for the tallest tree and can live for more than a thousand year, as its Latin name mean "Forever Living".   The timber is widely used for constructions due to it's nice, warm tone and resistance to insect and decay, but the burly wood (which also holds the world record for the largest burl) is something truly special. Native to the central and eastern United States, scarlet oak gets it's name from the autumn color of the leaves.  The woood is less common than the other oak species of commerse.
