Jewelry Box Large: Wood Inlay with Red Narra Wood
It is not very difficult to get yourself a jewelry box large enough to keep your jewelry collection, if you know what to look for. A large jewelry box will help you sort and arrange your collection in sets based on the type of the jewelry, the size of the jewelry, the color, etc. You will see that it takes much less time to take out the jewelry that you are looking to match with your outfit.
You need to select a box that look s classy and sophisticated with some attractive marquetry work done on it as otherwise a box that big will look out of place on your dresser. Just the sheer beauty of the box should be able to attract attention away from its size! You could go for a box that is made entirely out of an exotic wood like the Red Narra if you are not on a shoestring budget. If money is tight, you can still get yourself a reasonably priced box made of white mahogany with some elegant wood inlay done on it. This will be priced less as it is made of a locally available wood and not some imported rare wood .
The Red Narra (Pterocarpus indicus) is found in several parts of Asia (Thailand, Burma, Indonesia, Vietnam, etc) and northern Australasia; It is the national tree of the Philippines. It belongs to the pea family Leguminosae or Fabaceae. It is also known by many different names in different parts of the globe: Asana, Burmese Rosewood, Kaibocca Wood, Tnug, Sonokembang, Sena, Angsana, Andaman Redwood, etc, are some of the more common names.
The same tree produces the breathtaking Amboyna Burl. The trunk of the tree measures about 2 m. in diameter and the tree grows really tall to a height of approximately 40 m.. You will find on most of these trees, buttresses that extend upward and outward all around the tree. It is a very hard and heavy wood.
The most common colors of the hardwood are deep orange red, rose, reddish tan, and in some places it is even said to be purple. In fact, when you hold up a piece of this wood to the light, you will be able to see its appearance change at every angle. A substance that is naturally present in its wood cells, also make this wood turn a beautiful opalescent color when submerged in water.
Red Narra Wood is best for wood inlay work as it has a rich color and the ability to take a high level of polishing, and the grain and beautiful colors are quite unmatched by any other timber. Buying yourself a beautiful wooden jewelry box with evocative marquetry work may be the best gift you can give yourself and your precious jewelry!
