Zebra wood box with walnut rabbeted-in lid and interior tray. A good friend gave me a small piece of zebrawood….too small to make a reasonable sized box and lid….hence the walnut lid. I have always liked the combination of walnut with zebra wood. since the dark tones in the zebra wood match the color of the walnut. There was just enough scrap to make the out-sized knob. This box is approx. 5.5 inches square with an interior lift- out tray. The box and the tray are lined with black velvet and the finish is had-rubbed poly.

John,
You are clearly the master of the lid lift. I like this box a lot, but the four way match of the lid lift is super. Wish I had thought of it. Great tie-in with the base box… nice repetition of a theme. Walnut and Zebra work nice together. The way you fit your tapered trays is also a sweet detail. Nice little box.

Very classy box John !
I love the wood combination and the lift out tray is a nice detail seldom seen in this size of box .
The knob and tray handle matching are also a nice feature along with the tray bottom liner .
Very well done !
