Box rings

I had a go on the piano instead of drawing today, so only photos of the little box on the piano once it was shut down for the evening. I suppose the main point of the box is matching the grain up. Also making the lid cuts a little big and then sanding back for a tight fit as shown in yesterday's drawing with the vice. I had forgotten about making provision for some kind of adjusters for the table legs, so started on that today as well rather than glueing. The divet in the lid gives enough thumb purchase to slide open the box. I am not sure what the wood is, but it has 67 years worth of rings tip to tip.
