The surface of this small box is truly exceptional, combining sapwood and heartwood—a blend that, together with the beautiful grain, creates a striking visual effect. The cylindrical lid fits perfectly over the box. Inside, the box is hollowed out to just under half its height, while the rounded base gives it the appearance of floating. Since wood is softer than most metals, this little box is ideal for storing rings, a necklace, or other small treasures.\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"tab-stops: 124.2pt;\"\u003eWith their natural, matte finish and thin-walled design, Horst Kontak’s wooden boxes invite you to pick them up and explore them. The precise fit of the lid underscores the exceptional quality of these pieces. Each piece of wood has a unique grain and color, which are showcased particularly effectively by the natural finish and minimalist design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"tab-stops: 124.2pt;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eManufacturing:\u003c\/b\u003e Horst Kontak carefully handcrafts the wooden boxes and bowls on his wood lathe. For his work, he primarily uses local woods such as oak, black locust, or walnut, which he works with once they are dry. Depending on the design, the individual steps on the lathe vary slightly, but the basic sequence always remains the same. It is this repetitive routine that Horst Kontak particularly values in his work. After processing, the wood remains largely untreated to preserve its natural color and texture. If he does decide to treat the wood, however, he uses only Japanese camellia oil. Among woodturners, making a box is considered the pinnacle of the craft, as it presents a particular challenge to ensure that the lid and the body fit together perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Horst Kontak","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57621941453173,"sku":"16920029","price":240.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/8908\/8275\/files\/Horst_kontak_holz_dosen-60.jpg?v=1794469383","url":"https:\/\/haptik.de\/en\/products\/horst-kontak-holzdose-eibe-handgedrechselt-hk29","provider":"haptik - Galerie für Gebrauchskunst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
