That lid was most likely made with a thicker piece of wood. But you can make it using two pieces of wood glued together, using a router on the edges to obtain the profile. Or use the CW and the 3d suite to make the profiles, as in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=VnneV--7fb8.

There are many boxes and containers with quite elaborate detailed patterns in the pattern depot. They may not be exactly like the box in your picture but most have detailed instructions that come with them that show how to construct the lids, sides and bottoms. There are many techniques.
