Rather than throw out onto the fire pit...decided to try and make something out of a stack of Maple scraps....

Front panel is a book-match resaw, edge glued, and then planed into a raised panel

Same goes for the panel in the back. Panel for the lid was a 3 board glue up. Ends were some 3/8" thick Cherry scarps..

That just happened to be wide enough ( ran out of thin Maple..) Box stands 9" tall, counting the lid.

Chain to hold the lid....

Simple ( and SMALL) brass hinges. I tried to show off the grain.
Corner joints are Tongue & Groove glue joints.
Thanks for looking in...
