These boxes were made for a timber merchant in Melbourne.
The first is Sth. American Myrtle (highly figured) and is about 300x200mm. There is no metal used anywhere in the construction of this box.
The second is quarter cut European Oak (don't know if its English or Polish). It's designed as a desk box and is about 320x220mmx75mm.
The lid is bookmatched resawn timber.

Regards,

Orson

Is it an optical illusion or is the second box's lid a bit tapered?

Hi SukkaFOO,

Yes the lid of the Myrtle box is cut to provide a taper, giving a "handle" to allow easy opening of the box.
