re: Double Decker Keepsake Box

That grain sure shows up prominently, especially on the top section! I actually like the alternating pattern there. And it’s got a neat retro vibe. You might consider, in future projects, reducing the box material thickness down to half inch or so. The wall thickness wants to feel appropriate for the overall size of the box you’re making. Usually, I won’t go up to 3/4” thick stock until the box is over about 24-30” wide. Of course it’s personal preference, and it may be an issue of not having the tools to resaw the lumber. Even with thinner walls, I’ll usually leave the drawer fronts at 3/4” if they’re integral to the drawer. If you’re adding the drawer front to the front of a separate drawer ‘box’, then 1/2” is fine, IMO. 
Regardless, I like to overall design! Unique!
