Figured Bubinga is one of the more eye-grabbing materials out there (as you'll see in the video on this box). A good deal of extra finishing work went into this box to fully bring the material to it's ideal presentation. It will serve you well in holding that very special bottle of wine. I also have wedding love letter ceremony and toasting glass boxes.
Note that while I'm referring to this as a wine box it can serve as keepsake box or to to hold whatever item(s) you have in mind where you might be looking for a more rectangular box. It's a beauty of box and will be a stunning piece in any application.
I find that pictures just don't capture the real life appeal of my boxes so I shoot videos when I can. Please see video of this box here:

The joinery on this box is miters with Ebony miter keys which have a dual purpose in adding both a decorative element as well as making the miter joint stronger.
The padded lining is upholstered with a black velvet fabric.
Finished with a variety of products to enhance the grain as well as provide a high-gloss appearance. Finishing is the most variable and potentially complex part of woodworking. I easily spend the majority of time in my builds in finishing. Many stages... many products are involved in order to achieve what you see in my final products.
