Very nice!

I like the corner-post/lid-locater idea. I'll bet locating and precision cutting those through mortises in the lid was challenging, too!
 
Thanks for the nice comments.

The finish is just a sprayed on clear gloss polyurethane.

The mortices weren't that challenging (mark, drill and file), but they were a bit nerve-racking since there was the potential to mess up the lid.
