It is a fun little box. I really like the fact that sanding it exposed parts of the nails used to hold it together. Unfortunately the dye didn't come out the way I wanted except for on the sides. If you feel the back of the box, that's how the whole thing was, but worse. I think it may be mahogany, but I didn't really look hard at the box. It looks like they used junk wood that would have otherwise been scrap.
Anyways, I'm just glad everyone now got something, even if it meant I sent two gifts to make sure it happened.
