LV-3360  Persimmon & Live Oak Wooden Mushroom Trinket Box, Pill, Jewelry Box-THREADED

LV-3360 Persimmon & Live Oak Wooden Mushroom Trinket Box, Pill, Jewelry Box-THREADED

$ 75.00


This is a very special mushroom shaped box made out of Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) with Interior Live Oak (Quercus wislizenii) cap.  I like to use oak for mushroom cap.  The natural radial rays looks like gills of the mushroom.  Live oak is a much denser timber than the commercial White Oak or Red Oak.  The problem with Live Oaks is the twisty way they grow, rendering them useless for timber production, but perfect for threaded mushroom!  The stalk is made from persimmon wood.  Persimmon is a true ebony species, the only native American ebony.  It is heavy, hard and polishes well.  The timber is not all that common commercially.  The plain wood works well as a mushroom stalk.

This threaded box can be used to hold small valuables...The screw-on cap ensured that your content is secured; also serves as a unique gift for nature lovers

Dimension (largest diameter x height): 1-1/4" x 2"
