I thought I would show off what came in the mail today from Germany. It is a Ebony and Olive wood box that was hand made by a real craftsman named Heinz Niessen. I am very pleased with it so far. Now I just have to figure out what snuff to put in it. Hope you like the photos and if you wish to see more of his work it can be found here: http://www.drechselshop-online.de/tabatieren.htm
That is beautiful.
Thats a very nice box you don’t see many olive wood crafts, nice find
Thanks for the comments. I really like the attention to the inside as it is concave in order to get every last pinch!
Very nice! Concave is very smart, I agree. I recommend some Bernard Gekachelter Virginie Dunkel to christen it.
VERY nice, I think MY box is shown on the site, too! About how much are those boxes listed for in dollars? I’d suggest something by Mr. Sternecker for the first time out.
Hooked, The boxes run from about $55 and up. Most are around this size. Heinz speaks good English and is a very nice gentleman to do business with.
