This is a nice acorn shaped box made out of Red Zebrawood (berlinia grandiflora) with Black Walnut Burl (Juglans negra) cap.  Red Zebrawood is also known as Berlinia, Aben, Poculi, and Essaben. This exotic hardwood comes mostly from West African countries such as Cameroon, Gabon, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, Congo and Zaire. This timber resembles its close relative Zebrawood the difference is the red coloring and the lack of exciting odor. 

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.
