This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Red Gum Burl (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) with Chechen (Metopium brownei) cap. From Australia, Red Gum is one of the Eucalyptus species with not-often-seen burl. The tree is widely grown as ornamentals and is a good pollen source for honey production. The burl wood looks kinda plain at first, but it turned out to be a beauty, with a unique light pink tint that goes well with the reddish brown cap. This is a larger acorn at ~3" in diameter.
A nice box for your valuables. The screw-on cap ensures that your content is secured, good for small jewelry, keepsake... Thought the ages, people has given out acorns as a symbol of prosperity and luck. This one is a unique gift.
Dimension (largest diameter x height): 2-3/4" x 3-3/8"
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
