Im Just finishing a wine box double bass, had to sand down the inside centre of the lid from 3/8ths inch to around 1/8th inch as it was too thick for a soundboard, neck is a 3 piece laminate of maple and red oak - but it still flexes. Good luck, looks like a terrific box by the way.

I purchased a piece the other day and it looks very similar.
Any Idea what kind of wood that box is made of?
looks like white pine
