OK Guys. I've decided on a ship's wheel. If I'm reading you right Bj, do you mean rout a circular recess and lay the wheel in that? I hadn't thought of that approach but I would like to try an inlay if it's not too ambitious for a first timer. Tom, the box lid will be approx 12" x 10" (300 x 250mm) so I figure a wheel about 3" (75mm) dia. Here's a piece of clipart of the style of the thing.
(Sorry, it won't accept the format of the image but it's a very basic eight spoked wheel.)
