Looks to be made of mahogany. Very nicly done I might add too! This might be a good pot to use as an indoor subject, but prolonged outdoor use coupled with water would pose a quick demise to the wood. Mahogany although used extensivly for marine application, is usually coated with fiberglass or epoxy. When exposed untreated to water it gets very slimy and starts to decompose rapidly. Might make an attractive display for an artificial tree though.

You might could slow down the decomposition by watering those rocks only once a week. I bet they hardly notice! Just a thought. |

these rocks are notorious for dieing of underwatering,once a week in this climet would surely result in dead rocks.
i dont mean to be rude,but,sheech,dont you know anything about rocks?

I wonder if you could use a couple of coats of polyurethane on the inside to keep the pot from "going to pot " so to speak.
