This little box has an all wood integrated hinge. The interior of the box is 6" X 4.5" X 1.75". I used 1/4" Baltic birch plywood but it would look great in a nice hardwood.
I did not include any dividers but they could be easily added if you wanted to make it a small jewelry box.
The round disks work well for the hinge. There is a built-in stop for the lid when it opens.
Because of the Baltic birch is so plain I decided to add a little color to the top. I did a thin wash of a water-based paint. I did not want to cover the wood grain completely. I like the way the color turned out.
