Forrest, a standard one piece box for 3 1/2" ten gauge shells may serve as a pattern for the 2 7/8" brass shells. A standard one piece box for 2 7/8" shells would serve as a pattern for star crimped paper or plastic 2 7/8" shells. Such boxes have curved edges on certain areas. A two piece box, in contrast, has all square edges on the pattern and would be easier to fabricate with hand tools, and would make a more impressive box. A two piece box also displays the headstamps and crimps of the shell, where the one piece box only displays the side of the shell. The only drawback of a two piece box is that it has to be glued or supported by a paper cover.
