Thanks, Swirt, Dark lightning, Rob and Ivan!
Hi Rob I'll be making some more and I'll put in some process shots.
 I cut the dovetails on the base and the lid out of rectangular pieces on the router table. Then I picked up the center of each and rough cut them round. Then I took off the lid and bored the hole in the base. I may make a tapered dovetail like Tom suggested. It should be easy if the rectangular piece are just tapered on one side.
