    Default Beautiful cigar boxes -- design ideas needed

    So my lovely wife headed out to get her employer's warehouse ready for an inventory sale tomorrow, and for $20 she came home with these two beauties for me:

    The burl one was marked $300 and the walnut $200. That is probably why they hadn't sold them retail, since you can buy them on Amazon for $50-$75. They are 10 x 7.75 x 3.375 inches on the interior and are nicely made and seal tightly when closed and had a small tag that said "holds 50 cigars". They each have one moveable/removable divider.

    She thought (correctly) that they'd be great for razors, so my wheels started turning on what to do with the interiors. Since they are deep enough for 2 layers of razors I have lots of options. One of my questions is should I seal the interiors, and if so, with what? I'd love to have some of you craftsmen give me ideas about clever interior treatments....double deck, slanted single layer for display, cloth, etc. Fire away with any reasonable ideas/advice (and no, I'm not sending them to you to look at).
