I like it as well..
The lid interests me, if you have got the time, how did you do the inlays?
The 3mm dentil inlay lines are simply let into a groove cut with a 3mm router cutter set to the right depth, the corners of the inlay duly mitred and stuck in with titebond original.
To form the pocket for the round fan I firstly made a round hole of exactly the same size in an offcut of 18mm MDF by spinning it on the lathe mounted on a simple screwchuck and cutting in with a 1/8"parting tool effectively cutting free the piece i want to keep leaving the waste disc on the screwchuck.
When you are happy that the hole in the mdf is exactly the right size, stick it to the wood to be inlayed with double sided tape and then use a 1/2" top bearing guided router cutter to run round the inside of the mdf template forming the recess to the right depth.
Remove the MDF template and stick the motiff in and when dry lightly scrape surface with a cabinet scraper to clean up
Job done! Hope this makes sense
