LV-4967 Redwood Burl & Betel Nut Acorn Pendant Box, Charm, Pill Holder-SCREW CAP

LV-4967 Redwood Burl & Betel Nut Acorn Pendant Box, Charm, Pill Holder-SCREW CAP

$ 60.00


This is a small acorn shaped box made out of Redwood Burl (Sequoia sempervivens) with Betelnut (Areca catechu) cap. This is a pretty heart shaped keychain attachment made out of California Redwood Burl (Sequoia sempervivens). Redwood is the state tree of California and can grow to giant proportion. A stroll in the towering Redwood forest is a memorable experience. The species holds the world record for the tallest tree and can live for more than a thousand year, as its Latin name mean "Forever Living". The timber is widely used for constructions due to it's nice, warm tone and resistance to insect and decay, but the burly wood (which also holds the world record for the largest burl) is something truly special. I saw a redwood burl vessel for the first time in a State Park gift shop. I was dying to have and to hold it, but I was a poor student back then... Now I can make my own redwood burl items, and still fall in love with them, every time! Here is your chance to have a piece of this special timber, from California, with love!

A nice box for your valuables. The screw-on cap makes this nature inspired box extra special and ensures that your content is secured. It is ready to dangle off your keychain, bag zipper, belt with the removable lobster claw. The nut is small enough to be worn as a pendant (without the claw). Good for small daily pills, keepsake...Not recommended for long term storage of emergency pill, since I don't know how air/water tight the closure is. For a permanent seal, apply a small amount of wood glue to the threads before closing. Through the ages, people has given out acorns as a symbol of prosperity and luck. This one is a unique gift.
