I made this box out of Bocote, Elm Burl for the lid and some Hard Maple for the bottom. I also used Walnut for the tray.
Its finished in Poly.

This is a gorgeous little box. You designed it well to show off that piece for the top. You kept the design elegant and simple enough to really showcase that amazing piece of burl. I really like this one! Favorited.

Wonderful looking box.
