I made this from reclaimed timber from a chest of drawers.  The wood is quite soft, but nice and light which is important so the box isn't too heavy.

Larger box on the bottom, with a handle.  A slightly smaller box sits on top of this as a lid.  There is also a small till in the bottom box for paint brushes etc.
