Parts Connection does have a nice selection.
I think cigar boxes would look very nice, although I'm not crazy about the all wooden box thing, it is something I have contemplated many times.
Ideally they would have a metal lining with the wood box around it, which is a little tougher in your case as you already have the finished boxes.
It's doable, just more a little more work, but hey that's part of the fun.
You might be able to get some of those Hammond chassis to fit from Parts Connection, as long as it works for the layout, IMO it wouldn't matter if the wooden box was a little bigger.

Yes, I thought about lining the boxes. I think diyhfsply has copper shielding. BH doesn't line their wood boxes, but I think they shield the signal wire instead.
After reading Paul's explanations, I decided to build it stock with the 5v4s, no modifications.
I think the Hammond OPTs might work well for me, because I would only use this amp in a very limited bandwidth, like 300hz to 1,800hz.
I want to give this a crack, but I'll go slow.

Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!
"BH doesn't line their wood boxes, but I think they shield the signal wire instead."
Those amps do have a metal top plate to hold the parts together, maybe you could fit something like that to the underside of your cigar boxes, then use the shielding tape if necessary.
That way you won't have a problem if the cigar box splits it's lid etc.
Anyhow I'm just making suggestions, I'm sure you know what you are doing.

Not so much.
One step up from a bread board is what I'm looking for. I figure using two boxes (PS-main amp) will split the weight load. Maybe even mount the OPT inside the box.
