Locking Keepsake Box.
The Oregon Myrtle-wood tree grows uncultivated, only in a small area along the Pacific Coast.
No large stands of this unique tree are to be found. Nearly all of the remaining Myrtle-wood is scatteredin small groves throughout the lower valleys along the rivers of Southwestern Oregon and the southern Pacific Coast. Centuriesare required to grow a Myrtle-wood tree large enough to yield board-lumber.
Atime may come when the supply of highly figured Myrtle-wood will be depleted and the manufacturing of the articles from thiswood may cease. The highly-prized pieces of today will be handed down through generations, as heirlooms which will be preservedfor us by our descendent's.
