How about some vintage mahogany?

Mahogony is a photosensitive wood that changes with exposure to UV light over time. I can not recall the exact term, but the patina (for lack of a better word) makes for a very stunnning box as it ages.

Okay....not exotic wood, but it’s lead laden (paint) and good for up to 24 watches.

This looks like a box made by Donerix.
He used to be member in old H-F and every quarter or so he would have made a sale of straps and boxes.
He is located in Nicaragua.
Chances are that you still find him in other respective fora.

Yes ... that's him! He's been around REP forums for long time. I sent him a message inviting him to post some of his wares over here.

Our friend Chase Ankeny made this beautiful box for me when my wife commissioned it for Christmas now about 4 years ago.
