Shelf-Top Oil Vial

A friend of mine was looking for an oil vial for his consecrated oil that was for his home supply - something nicer than the cheapo plastic containers that you get at the LDS Distribution Centers. I thought this was the perfect solution - hand-turned from cocobolo (other woods are available) and made with attention to detail. Inside is a glass vial with a threaded cap. The possibilities are endless. For an exotic wood like cocobolo, the price starts at $35. Domestics could be less. Email me for a quote.

Keyring Essential Oil Vial - Cocobolo and Gold

This keyring oil vial is made from 10-k gold-plated components and cocobolo. Inside is a glass vial that can hold essential oils, perfume, cologne, or consecrated oil.

Cocobolo is a medium sized Central American tree growing up to 2' diameter and 90' tall. The heartwood is typically orange or reddish-brown in color, often with a figuring of darker irregular traces weaving through the wood, while the sapwood is a creamy yellow, contrasting sharply with the heartwood. Its fine texture and excellent color make Cocobolo one of the most popular exotic woods. Grows along Pacific seaboard of Mexico and Central America. Considered one of the most important woods in cutlery business for knife handles (can be soaked in soapy water with minimal ill effects). Also used for tool handles, brush backs, bowling balls, chess pieces, carving, jewelry boxes, canes, utensils, buttons, musical and scientific instruments, especially guitars and basses, but some woodwind instruments such as clarinets and oboes have been successfully made using cocobolo instead of the more usual African blackwood. It is also used in making luxury pens, and decorative veneer and inlay.

Cocobolo and Chrome Consecrated Oil Vial Keyring

This vial was made for a customer to use for consecrated oil, and is made from Cocobolo, with chrome components. The hourglass shape was chosen because it feels as slight in the pocket as a straight profile, but highlighted the diagonal grain.

This second vial shows a more typical piece of cocobolo - dark, attractive grain, but without the sapwood.

Cocobolo is a medium sized South American tree growing up to 2' diameter and 90' tall, heartwood color varies from bright orange to deep red, with attractive varied stripes of yellow, orange and black. Darkens on exposure. Its fine texture and excellent color make Cocobolo one of the most popular exotic woods, and I can see why - I love working with it. It takes a finish so well, it cuts so smoothly, it's really choice.

Normally I charge $25 for these keyring oil vials, whether gold or chrome, and no matter the wood. For the first one, I paid extra attention to it, working with the customer to select the wood from several pieces, selecting the shape, etc. to make it intensely personal so it was extra. One touch was selecting a piece of cocobolo with the sapwood (whiter wood) which is sometimes hard to do.
