It's actually a quite small piece, only 2 1/2 inches tall. The lid is a sad tale. I've since replaced it with stable stock, but that original lid I cut from the wrong piece… a piece that wasn't entirely dry yet. As a result, by the time I woke up the next morning, the lid was at the bottom of the box, having lost enough diameter during the night to drop completely to the bottom. Amazing-and amazingly fast-shrinkage. Luckily, I had another beautiful piece of black and white ebony to use that was dry and stable.
