Finger joints were born in the age of machine woodworking to emulate hand-cut dovetail joints, at a much more economical price per box.

If you'd like to throw in some "craftsman" creativity, use contrasting box sides to form the fingers.

The sides of the box, looking from any side, will alternate with each wooden sides color.

Front and back is one color wood, with left and right another color wood.

Be sure to have all sides the same thickness.
