Prepare the timber for the frame. I used 50mm wide stock

Cut the mortises...
Cut the tenons on the table saw..
and finish off with a hand saw
Rout the groove for the panel on the router table and dry fit.
Prepare the timber for the panel....
Raise the panel on the router table and give it a final sanding..
And the lid is ready.
Give the panel a coat of oil before you glue the lid together.

Now to fit the trim around the lid edges.
