This is a very pretty persimmon box made out of Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) with Verawood (Bulnesia sarmientoi) cap. Persimmon is a true ebony species, the only native American ebony. It is heavy, hard and polishes well. You can see some random dots of ebonized wood, The timber is not all that common commercially. I like to see persimmon tree in the late fall with bright, cheerful orange fruits hanging from leafless branches. I like to eat them, too! It is only natural that I make a persimmon from this wood. Also known as Fruit of the Gods, persimmon is the symbol of joy in China, and triumph in Japan. This is my first attempt at a persimmon box. Have been thinking about it for awhile, but the blind hollowing through small opening and the carved top present some technical challenges.
A nice box for your valuables, about the size of a real persimmon. 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 symbolic meaning of the fruit.
Dimension (largest diameter x height): 2-5/8" 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
