    Very nice! I love the contrasting colors, the inlay and the dark "keys" on the joints.

    I am also a fan of the contrasting colors and the dovetail keys. Nice job. The box looks great!

    You did a beautiful job. The only suggestion I would make to you is to use thinner material for the sides. The sides just look too thick to me for the size of the box.
