Unfortunatly the photos do not show the depth of the box very well, but the balance of colours of the woods used do sit well together.

Hopefully this angle gives a better idea of depth.

I like the strong contrast between the two timbers and the overall form. I wonder how it would have looked with a sharp corner between the top edge of the wall and the lid - I feel that the large radius that you've got loses a bit of definition of the form.
