LV-3101 Manzanita & Black Palm Acorn Pill Box, Jewelry, Engagement Ring Box-SCREW CAP

$ 95.00


This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Manzanita (Arctostaphylos glauca) with Black Palm (Borassus flabellifer) cap.  Manzanitas are the most picturesque trees around here.  The reddish, peeling bark trunks twist and turn, give the tree a weathered look with a lot of character.  They grow in abundant here on the hillsides, but all my attemp to grow them in my garden has not been successful.  My failure to domesticate this species heighten my appreciation for them.  I like both its character and attitude.  Manzanita wood is high on my favorite list.  It is very dense with a beautiful dark red color.  Trouble is the wood does not behave.  The twisted trunks are small to begin with, and tend to split like crazy when dried.  Thus, a large chunk of dried manzanita wood is a rare commodity.  Capped with the unique black palm for added visual interest.  I really like this one!

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.
