Zebra, Leopard, and Redheart wood Keepsake Box
Truly a one-of-a-kind Keepsake box. Made from Zebrawood (which comes from West Africa), Leopardwood (which comes from Central and South America), and Redheart wood (which comes from Southern Mexico to southern Brazil and Paraguay). The lid is 3/8" (.952cm) solid Leopardwood.
Zebrawood is not listed in the CITES Appendices but is on the IUCN Red List. It is listed as vulnerable due to a population reduction of over 20% in the past three generations, caused by a decline in its natural range.
Leopardwood is not listed in the CITES Appendices or on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Redheart is not listed in the CITES Appendices or on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Please note, I only source my wood from reputable distrubutors.
