Rare English Brown Oak Used in Jewelry Boxes Large Enough to Store Your Precious Jewelry
Jewelry boxes large enough to safely organize and store jewelry are not hard to find. But considering the huge size of the box, it would be good to buy one that has some exotic art work done on it to draw attention away from its sheer bulk.
Safe and organized storage of jewelry is quite challenging for women. A woman who loves jewelry usually ends up having a zillion tiny boxes and pouches, which come with the jewelry . And searching for a matching bracelet or earrings is almost a daily time consuming chore for her.
Any woman who loves collecting jewelry would welcome a beautifully handcrafted large jewelry box. It not only serves as a safe receptacle for the jewelry, it also acts as a showpiece and enhances the decor of the room. However a jewelry box that is carved out exotic and rare wood would be very costly.
You can, instead, go in for a beautiful jewelry box that is made out of locally available white mahogany embellished with some artwork like marquetry. Burls and veneers of exotic and rare wood like the classy English Brown Oak are used in marquetry.
An interesting example of an exotic wood would be the English Brown Oak of the Fagaceae Family (Quercus robur, Quercus petraea). It is not a wood in its own right but rather an English Oak that is the victim of a fungal infection. Interestingly, the beef steak fungus does not cause harm to the tree and just changes the color of the heartwood to a rich honeybrown that is not possible to reproduce with stains. Only when the tree is cut, milled, and dried, does the fungus die.
It has several names like the White Oak, Brown Oak, Yugoslavian Oak, German Spessart Oak, Pollardok, French Oak, Polard Oak, and the English Oak. The density of this wood is approximately 42 to 45 lbs per cubic foot. The German Oak has about 30 more growth rings than the English Brown Oaks from other places like Canada, France, Poland, Great Britain, and Yugoslavia.
It has a high resistance to rot caused by a wet environment and its high level of tannic acid content can corrode metals. Depending on where it's from, the color could vary from a deep, rich brown to a light biscuit colored tan. It has very beautiful silvery grains that make this wood very attractive for making jewelry boxes or in marquetry. Its age and place of origin can determine the final price of the wood but it is still a very expensive wood.
‘Marquetarians’, the experts in marquetry, love working with the English Brown Oak as it enhances their art and gives it a very sophisticated look. It definitely looks awesome on the lids of jewelry boxes and can transform a dull box into a sophisticated piece of art!
