This is a very special mushroom shaped box made out of Willow Acacia (Acacia saligna).  Willow acacia is a very nice ornamental tree.  The long, narrow leaves sweep downward like that of a willow.  Bright yellow mimosa-like flowers cover the tree in bloom season.  The only problem is it litters a lot, dropping it's leaves, flowers, and seeds all over.  My sister got tired of mopping up after this tree and one fine day, decided to cut it down.  She gave me a few small branches and from those (with the help of my faithful lathe) a brand new species of mushroom sprouted.  What a beauty!

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
