Pear Box with Black Walnut Finial

Pear Box with Black Walnut Finial. 3 1/2" w. x 6" h.
My first experiment with trying a cross grain box. I can understand now, why most boxes are turned end grain. Even though this beautiful piece of wood was thoroughly dry, it still moved and warped slightly and the lid needed some fine adjustments so the lid would fit properly after the wood moved. It was such a pretty piece of wood I had to try the cross grain though, as end grain would not have shown off the piece as well. All comments are welcome. I like to know what people think of my shapes, designs, and projects as a whole.
very nice
 
Again I like this one. You do those small boxes well!!! :)
