A box for watches

My latest box project. It measures 310mm long, 175 wide 1nd 175 high. The box was made as a commission for a friend who collects watches. It started out as a simple box for eight watches but developed into a project that included a draw. The box is made from some dry poplar, a very stable but plain timber, and veneered with black walnut veneer. The lid features a walnut burl veneer, with black veneer cross banding. I used a simple stringing of yellow walnut to separate the different veneers, instead of the usual banding. Sealed with sanding sealer and given four sprayed coats of laquer, then buffed.
Comments and criticisms welcome.
