This little box was cut from 4 corner scraps left over from a previous project. The 4 corners were glued together to make a board with enough area for this 3" x 3" box.
The lid was made from a scrap of Walnut wood I found in my scrap bin. The walnut was a bit thicker than I liked, so I cut the top to taper down to a thinner edge.

The bottom has a rabbet edge with a 3 degree slope for a fit that slips on easy but wedges tight.

The lid overhangs the box by 1/16" to make it easier to pop the lid off.

The contrast between lid and box wasn't my original intent. I started with a scrap of beech for the top but it worked loose while being cut and was ruined. A constant potential of using the CNC for making small parts. I may darken the box with a walnut stain to lessen the contrast between box and lid.
