I love the tops but ....tell us about the body.

The sides of each box are made up of three 1/2” rings, each one comprised of 60 “pegs” scrolled on the inside and outside, i.e. 120 cuts on each ring. The wood was Sapele, sometimes called African Mahogany. I have started on two more boxes so you can see one of the rings. The newer ones are cherry, and I stack cut two at a time.

Excellent, a super job. I've not seen that treatment before! Much better now that I see the whole project.

BTW-

The Zig Zag Man was one of the most popular tattoo designs from the 1960s. The folk story goes that in the 19th century during a battle of Sevastopol, a French soldier also known as Zouave, had the misfortune of having his clay pipe broken by a flying bullet. Needing a smoke he decided to try rolling his tobacco in a piece of paper torn from the bag that his gunpowder came in. 

This worked but it was in 1894 that the Braunstein Brothers figured out the process of interleaving papers in a zig zag manner and putting them in a convenient paper booklet that took the market by storm.
