This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Teak Burl (Tectona grandis) with Betelnut (areca catechu) cap. Teak is the number one timber for marine and outdoor furniture applications. it's natural oils make the timber moisture, termite and pest resistant. Teak is durable even when not treated with oil or varnish. Native to SE Asia, it is a large tree with fairly large leaves. There was a stand of teak near my childhood house. I remember cranking my neck looking up at these tall canopies and got intrigued by these large leaves. I did not know they are teak until recently, by reading posts on a forum about the very same stand of teak. How connected the world has become! This acorn is even more special, fashioned out of the rare burl of this timber. The dense pattern is just perfect for small item like this acorn. Capped with the uniquely patterned Betelnut for a striking effect.

A nice box for your valuables. The screw-on cap makes this nature inspired box extra special and ensures that your content is secured. Small enough to be worn as a pendant, and good for tiny daily pills, keepsake... Through the ages, people has given out acorns as a symbol of prosperity and luck. This one is a unique gift.
