The piece is made of spalted Tupelo Gum and the finial on the lid is Ebony. The base is 3.25" dia. and the wall thickness is 1/4". This wood is soft but turns well and I have added some nice suprise features. The underside of the lid has a raised center. The wood is very light, therefore I burned the inside box edge so as to help it stand out as well as adding black and red Beek inlace to the bottom. Sanded to 400 grit and #0000 steel wool. Finished with sanding sealer and then buffed with the Beal system and Carnauba wax for a long lasting lustrous finish.
