This is very nice eggplant shape box made out of American Holly (Illex opaca) with Verawood (Bulnesia sarmientoi) cap.  Here is another species of eggplant with white  skin.  So far, the eggplants grown from my lathe remain true in color, unlike the wild acorns. Just love the contrast in this one!

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
