I made this box all with hand tools for my Stanley 750 Sweetheart Chisels.
 
Made out of Spalted Pine. Just look at that grain!! Seldom do you see spalted coloring!

Brass hinges were installed. Also magnets and screws for snugging the lid securely.

Handcut dovetailed corners.

Applied finish is General Finishes Water-Based High Performance Polyurethane from Lee Valley. 

Thanks for looking! 
Cheers!

    I often do this on boxes with these types of lids. It works well. Did you notice the adjustable screw that the magnet sticks to when closing? This allows you to tweak the fit.

    A interesting detail rarely seen.  My grandfather showed me this when I was a teenager.  Unique and functional detail.

    There are many details our grandfathers did in woodworking that were done by hand and rival or surpass that which is done by modern power equipment today. One reason IMO: Their hearts and hands were focused on the journey not the expediency.
