This Heart box features wood veneers of dark fumed Oak all over with the "checker board" made up from Ash burl and fiddle back Maple. The box is fitted with chain stop, ball handle and black velvet on the inside bottom. The box is 6" square and 3 1/4" high. White birch inside, black felt on the outside bottom. Each box from Quiltboxes is unique; no two are ever just alike.

"Green" Philosophy: Veneering is environmental and economical! Veneers are thin layers of wood, sliced to reveal the beauty of the grain. Veneer harvesting is a responsible way to conserve treasured exotic, tropical, and rare hardwood forests, as it provides an extremely high square footage of beautiful wood patterns from a single log. This maximizes the economic value of standing trees, rewarding sustainable forest management, and discouraging slash-and-burn deforestation for livestock, agriculture and land development.
