Back to the capsule style on this one, it is turned from a very rare piece of Afzelia Burl (Afzelia zylocarpa). This wood, also called Makamong Burl is from Southeast Asia and has a lot of character, swirly grain, and an nice warm orange color. It is also dense, durable, and resistant to rot. Turned in the Ray Key style capsule it is hollowed and finished with abrasive wax then melamine lacquer. Size is 2 1/8" tall x 1 5/8" diameter. These rare woods are really unique but can be hard to make myself turn them because the wood is so rare and irreplaceable!
