Fans of the tv show will know it's not "winter is ominous", but rather : Winter is coming. This box is winter-themed and it went to someone who's got allergie issues. It is almost entirely decorated : top, bottom drawer, and sides. There are sneezing characters, characters getting a cold or trying their hand at mountain sports.

One of the main thing to learn, while doing decorative woodburning, is the reproduce fonts, without laying them with the right sized tool. There is hesitation, going back and forth, and actually filling pencil layouts while paying attention to detouring. 

Here is the box, with the top and bottom drawer. You slide it out of its grooves to replace the tissue box, and there is the knot circle as a little plus. Not unlike the characters at the bottom of soup bowls.  

The capital C is a little off, and a reminder that the most careful planning will not necessarily stop the guy doing the job from making a mistake.

This little piece is inspired directly from western Europe's antique pattern of knots. This one is completely made up. As you can see from the pencil marks, it fits into a system. While knots can be wildly distributed into a given area, and have uneven distribution and ends, a lot of them work as complete systems of their own, with every end being redistributed into the network. They are mostly known for their use by Celtic and Norse populations, but the Germanic Carolingians also used them.

Repetitive pattern decoration is also widely spread in human cultures. In the case of knots, even the most simple require a degree of planning and calculating, which implies that the most intricate made for serious mathematical engineering.
