re: Dovetailed lidded boxes

Thank you all for the nice comments.
Hi Barbara. I  guess I for got the wood...it is olive wood.

Hi Tom, If I did them on the mill I could make a tapered dovetail, but  I guess I could taper them with this method too. I'll try that on the next ones. Good idea!! I will put a taper on the straight pieces before cutting the dovetail!!
