Tissue Box Cover in birds eye maple veneer regular size

This handmade wood tissue box cover is covered in select Birdseye maple wood veneers. Birdseye maple has a medium density and variable color. The outer rings of the tree create lumber that's usually a creamy, light amber color with darker Birdseye patterns. The inner rings, called heartwood, might be deep amber or reddish with dark brown Birdseye. Depending on the frequency of the Birdseye swirls, each 1/8" to 3/8" wide (0.3-1 cm), the wood may be extremely valuable. Refined specialty products, such as the dashboard of a Rolls Royce, are made of Birdseye maple. Since it is such a rare and unusual timber type, it's very expensive, often several times that of ordinary hardwood.

The inside dimensions are 4 3/4" x 9 3/16"x 4 1/4" tall. Box walls are 1/4" thick , box does not have a bottom. The cover fits as a sleeve over the top of the cardboard tissue box the opening fits nicely with the oval shape of the box.
