Poplar Box #2, dovetails this time

Wondering IF I should stain the inside of the box, as well?  Hmmmm...and, maybe varnish it, as well....?

Looks good, but just a constructive observation, if you widened the tails as to reduce the number of pins, 1) it is going to take less time/effort to cut the joinery. 2) makes a cleaner looking joint (IMHO).

Doesn't take all that long to do these....most are sized to the chisels I have.   I tend to do pins first, anyway,  as I get better joints that way.   One wide tail, for where the grooves go, to split the lid off.
