Finished this up this afternoon for her 12th birthday. The box and lid knob are figured Walnut and the lid is fiddleback Cherry. About 3.5" wide and just over 2" high.

I just really like stuff like this, simple (in relative terms :D), lets the wood show through and well executed. I'd take a piece like this any day over one of the more complicated art forms.. but then I'm just a simple country boy.
 
Thanks for the kind words, folks! You should have seen her eyes light up when I gave it to her this afternoon. She said, "That's so beautiful!", then thanked me and gave me a big hug. But that means I now have to make 5 more for my other granddaughters. And I will... gadly!
