I have been wondering how to make the lid. Is the blank that much longer than the box itself? What I mean by that is

if the box is 3 inches and is the lid is an inch and a half is the blank roughly 5 inches long?

That all said, I love what you’ve done.

The finial caught my eye first and is awesome all by itself , but added to the mini scale of the box , together they are amazing !

The lid for any box is not size dependent. I am going to post a box where the lid and box came out of a piece 1 inch thick. The lid for the antler box actually comes from inside the piece the box is turned from. For those of you that want to learn to turn small boxes, the MASTER is Allen Battey. You can order his boxes DVD from craft supply USA. He makes me look like a beginner when it comes to small boxes.
