LV-3917 Betelnut & Mt. Mahogany Wooden Mushroom Box, Pill Box, Secret Compartment-SCREW CAP

LV-3917 Betelnut & Mt. Mahogany Wooden Mushroom Box, Pill Box, Secret Compartment-SCREW CAP

$ 72.00


This is a cute mushroom shaped box made out of Betelnut (Areca catechu) cap with Mt. Mahogany (Cercocarpus ledifolius) stalk.  I utilize the edible betelnut in many of my design.  The net-like vein is very eye-catching.  Here, it performs as a mushroom cap.  I know there is a species of mushroom with patterned cap similar to this, but I am not a mushroom expert...  Mountain Mahogany is not related to the Mahogany of the trade.  Native to California, this small tree has very heavy, fine grained wood with a nice rosy tint.  The wood turned and polished up so well, it is the local wood of choice for my threaded items.

This threaded box can be used to hold tiny 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" x 2-1/2"
