Cherry shell, top and trim.  Im happy with the way my hand-cut dovetails turned out.   
Built a small tray out of Maple and Cherry.  Since I dont have a thickness planer, I shaved it by hand with my Japanese plane. 
After watching National Treasure 2, my son wanted to know if I could put in a secret compartment that he could hide stuff in.  I fit a drawer within the bottom trim that opens only from the back.

After 25 years of not doing any woodworking, I decided to learn some hand-cut joinery and maybe do a few projects.  Here's my first box.  It's a "Cherry Treasure Box" for my 9 year old son.  Hand-cut dovetails, a "raised panel" top, and a secret drawer in the back.
