I’ve been in a box making mood lately, just trying to use up some good scraps and have some fun before I start a big kitchen remodel next week.
Zebrawood and wenge work well together (in my opinion) and the bloodwood accent stands out. My wife doesn’t care for the bloodwood, however. I also stuck with tight-fitting, but irregularly spaced box joints rather than dovetails. I thought dovetails might be too much with the slanted sides.
Your thoughts are welcome.

Very cool. I really like this particular wood combination, and the darker end grain on the joints adds to the visual effect.

Very nice design, I also like the bloodwood accent, especially done in the wenge.
Thanks for sharing

The emphasis on horizontal lines seems a bit strong for my taste, with the zebrawood striping reinforced by the orientation of the wenge and bloodwood. I like the color contrasts, though, especially the bloodwood. I think the box joints were a good choice.

I like that a lot caocian. Especially the little piece of bloodwood in the centre of the lid; it says: “Look at me; I’m going against the grain!”
