I want to duplicate the jewelry box pictured here:

is a birthday gift for my wife. The dimensions are 20" x 15" x 33
1/2" ht. I would like to make it out of curly maple, the more figured, the better. The main problem I seem to be running into is finding one long continuous board to make the case out of. I figure I need either a 8' x 15" x 3/4" board or an 8' x 8" x 4/4 board I could recut down the middle and joint. The thickness of the final project will be 3/8". I have a planner and jointer, so I am somewhat flexible, but I want a flow of grain around the entire case.
Any suggestions are more then welcome.
Jim
