Uniquely Australian - this one's for Texas

Some friends of ours are getting married very soon. After giving it a lot of thought, I decided that I would make a small box for them as a wedding gift.
My reason for doing so is that she is from Australia and he is from Texas. They met when his company posted him in Melbourne, Australia. So I thought that a box made of unique Australian wood, Huon Pine and Australian Blackbutt.
The lid and base is the Huon and the sides of the box are from Blackbutt. Huon is no longer logged in Australia and is a protected species. The only wood of this type available is from logging done up to the sixties. The Blackbutt is from a demolished warehouse built in Brisbane circa 1900. It's my home that when they eventually settle in Texas, that this small wooden box will remind them of happy days in Australia.
