Wife takes various meds and supplements and was using a small plastic bag to put each days pills in.   Had to take some with breakfast, some with lunch and some with dinner, confusion with al in a bag.   So the pill box for the day.    Morning, noon and night.  
Box is made of mahogany and sycamore cut offs.   Box is 4 " wide x 2 1/4" deep by 1 1/4" tall.   The lids are 316" thick, ends and dividers 1/4" thick, the sycamore pill holders are recessed 9/16" and are 1" wide in a scooped pattern to make pill retrival easy with one finger.   Glued together with Titebond.  The hinges are 1/16" brass rod and pins   Finish is poly well cured then waxed. 
The outside lids have a Rooster with Morn,  Sun with Noon and then an Owl with night.   Inside the lids have am, noon, pm lazed in.  Inlaid with white, orange and greyish black.   
Is working well for her.    
Nice way to use a few cutoffs.

Much classier than plastic bags! Nicely done. 

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

Awesome Ron!
A perfect project for the "smalls" I need to make.

What process did you use to scoop out the sycamore?

I need to clone your idea ASAP! 🤠👍
Nice, great way to organize meds. 👍
Really neat - the pictures for morning, noon, and night are a great feature.
Sycamore started as a small board, drilled a hole, cut off one side, then the other, sanded the edge.   One could cut out on bandsaw or scroll saw.
Thanks for the comments!

I have a small plastic one that has 7 day compartments and while it does the job it's no where as nice as your box! Excellent!
well done ron. but id need one a lot bigger than that for my needs 😁

Cool! I should make one. I currently use a little wood cup I turned on my lathe, but it's double duty- morning, then night.

Ron, that is the classiest pill sorter I’ve seen and your work as always is impeccable. An idea I’ll keep in mind, although as others have said, sized for my many. 

Seeing creative ideas like yours are what I enjoy most about this site. 
Thanks for the comments, really appreciate them.

Very classy!!!  The rooster gives it a very old time apothecary look that really caught my eye.
Oops forgot the owl (oLo)
Real nice box, Ron!!
