LV-4942 Black Walnut Burl & Willow Acacia Wooden Mushroom Keepsake Box, Pill, Jewelry Box-THREADED

$ 115.00


This is a very special mushroom shaped box made out of Willow Acacia (Acacia saligna) cap & Black Walnut Burl (Juglans negra) stalk Beside the delicous nut,  walnut is one of the few species with dark woods from North America. The wood is utilized for furniture, gunstock, musical instrument and many other application. 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
