Exotic English Brown Oak Used in Jewelry Boxes Large Enough to Store Your Precious Jewelry
It is not hard to find jewelry boxes large enough to organize and safely store your jewelry. 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. Many women retain the original packing of the jewelry they buy and end up having several small pouches and boxes . And she would be constantly hunting for the right pair of earrings or necklaces to go with her outfit.
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 box completely made of an exotic or rare wood can be very expensive.
Instead, go in for a beautiful box carved out of a locally available, inexpensive, but sturdy and durable wood like white mahogany embellished with ancient art forms like marquetry. Burls and veneers of exotic and rare wood like the classy English Brown Oak are used in marquetry.
The English Brown Oak belonging to the Fagaceae family (Quercus robur, Quercus petraea) is an intriguing example of exotic wood. It is not a tree in itself but an English Oak that has fallen victim to a fungus. Strangely, this fungus – the beef steak fungus – does not harm the tree in any way and seems to only want to colour the heartwood a rich honey brown that is impossible to reproduce with stains. The fungus dies only if the tree is chopped down, milled, and dried out.
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. And the oak from Germany, has about 30 to 40 growth rings to an inch as opposed to the 8 growth rings of the English Brown Oaks from other countries like Yugoslavia, Great Britain, Poland, France, and Canada.
It has a very high level of resistance to rot caused by damp environs and the high level of tannic acid in its wood cells can be highly corrosive. Depending on where it’s from, the color could vary from a deep, rich brown to a light biscuit colored tan. Its grains are beautiful and silvery making the wood extremely attractive for making jewelry boxes or for use in marquetry. The price of the wood is usually high even though it can vary depending on its country of origin and age.
‘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 especially looks great on the lids of jewelry boxes and transforms a dull wooden box into a classy piece of art!
