Had bunch of off-cuts and wood strips that I could not bring myself to throw. Decided to glue them into a panel. Once I had a panel, I decided to use it as a lid for box.
Attempted to cut dovetails by hand but it did not work out. Ended up cutting them with router.
I actually made one more similar box with other left-overs maple, walnut and oak but did not take any pictures.
Overall (if I remember correctly): Box is 11"x10"x1.5" in size. Wood used includes maple, oak, walnut, and paduk.
Don't remember what I used for finish. It was either some left over marine varnish, poly, or spray can laquer.

Inside: Lid is attached using a pin. Basically 1/8" iron dowels sold in HD.
The holes in lid are to de-attach the lid. They have been plugged with matching maple since then.

Side: This was my first attempt at hand cutting dovetails. Did not go well, and router rescued the wood.
The small hole in front is for a pin that locks the lid.
