This is a Hackberry and Walnut Ring Box. It measures 3 1/2” x 3 1/2” and is 2” high. There are 56 pieces on this box. The pieces are all the “full size” diamonds and triangles, except for the 16 half size triangles around the bottom. It is finished in its natural color with 5 or 6 coats of clear wiping varnish rubbed in by hand. The pieces are a bit over 3/16” thick, glued onto a Baltic Birch base. So they hold up much better than a thin veneer.
The type of wood is listed on the bottom of the box, from the center out. On this box is “Hackberry” and “Walnut” from Missouri.
It is lined with black velveteen. It has 3 “ring pads” on the bottom forming 2 slots about 2 ½” long, for rings.
