Being born into a family of woodworkers each family member had to add a 'book' for the family xylotheque. The writermaker of the book writes on a paper where he is in the family tree and places it in the book.

The book is in reality a box made from the wood of a tree. The back of the book is traditional from the bark. When you open the book/box it has dried leaves, blossoms, fruits, charcoal from it, insects feeding on it, a painting from the whole tree, a map where it was found  .... and the paper with the data from the family member who made it.
