Hi Peter M.,

 

Traditionally tsuba boxes were made of Kiri wood with one to two silk covered pads. I think this is want you are asking I purchase most of my boxes on eBay but have also purchased three very nice ones from Fred G. Here is a link to his website: http://www.swordsandtsuba.com/home.html.
