lolly stick , and some felt ,
l pick up lots of these to use as tackle boxes , tool ,old watches ,etc
l saw an add on flea bay for a float box that was selling for £200 plus
thought ,time l had a bash ,
lolly sticks stuck in the groves ,then trimmed down
hardest thing was cutting a grove in the box ,so the felt would fit flush
did all that , and worked out well
but looked a bit bare
drew a perch on the front , not liking that , carved it out , still looked very plain , PAINT IT
this is the result
needs a bit more varnish ,
think the next one will have a Tench ,or Roach
this will give you an idea 
and many thanks for the pictures showing how you've made the lining work
