This box made from African Blackwood was decorated on my Rose Engine is 65mm tall and 65mm in diameter. The pattern on the lid of the box has been treated with chameleon powder from @thetinyturner The short video shows some of the colours that the lid takes on as it is moved in the light. Unfortunately I did not check the cutter was on centre when ornamenting the lid and so the pattern has a slight spiral.
