This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Vitex Burl (Vitex gigantea) with Black Chacate (Guibourtia conjugata) cap. From SE Asia, Vitex burl is a lesser known burl wood, not often available. I don't know much about this rarity, except it looks awesome with swirly figures and subtle color variation. It is a very dense burl, capable of a beautiful finish. Capped with dark Chacate for contrast, this acorn is a real gem.
A nice box for your valuables. The screw-on cap makes this nature inspired box extra special and ensures that your content is secured, good for jewelry, keepsake... Through 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): 1-7/8" x 2-7/8"
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.
-- 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
