![Handcrafted keepsake box: natural, rustic, simple](http://itsbetterhandmade.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/IMG_9234-2-300x200.jpg)
This natural, rustic keepsake box was handcrafted from reclaimed Japanese cherry blossom sakura wood in Iwakuni, Japan. It’ll look great on anyone’s dresser while keeping rings or other jewelry, or equally beautiful on a coffee table or near the doorway for keys or spare change.
This keepsake box features an offshooting branch that sticks up above the flat box top. The natural bark has a silvery sheen over a deep wine color. The entire piece is 100% natural and completely untreated*. The top, bottom and inner chamber were lightly sanded. A subtle angle to the cut and a simple pine dowel hinge allow the top to swivel to the left, revealing the generous keepsake chamber.
