Hi, Pete

I would leave the lids off for a month or two, they might just be holding the moisture inside the box longer than the outside.

Nice boxes.

Pete
 
Thanks Pete. You're the fifth or six person to recommend that! I love that we can take advantage of thousands of people's experience and get advise from woodworkers all over the world in a matter of hours.

These box lids that I built last summer in Minnesota have cupped over the past couple months here in Denver.

I would have thought you would be able to sand the top flat on a board with sand paper stuck on it then a pass over the router would parallel the rebate. If you hold the newly flattened side against your router table fence with a rebate cutter fitted and pass the lid left to right between the cutter and fence and take light cuts till it is sorted.
