After thinking about this style of box, I decided to make a few design changes on the one. Turned from Ceylon Satinwood (Chloroxylon swietenia), this wood is very hard and lustrous, with a shiny appearance. The yellow/white color in the grain is also normal for this wood. It turns and sands very nicely, as well as being able to hold fine details. Design features include a true round bottom, rounded over rim, a double stepped lid, and curved sides. Turned, hollowed, and finished with abrasive wax. Size is 1 3/4" tall x 2" diameter. Overall a very solid and unique box!
