Hi,
Have seen a number of boxes where the box becomes unattractive when the top is set beside the base. And I have seen some where it works.
The tenon on the base just makes the box look unfinished in many cases. Or not thought thru. The box may be exquisite but the tenon looks like cinder block construction.
I prefer the tenon to be in the top so that when they sit upright next to one another there is no disharmony.
Perhaps someone knows of a physical reason why the tenon is usually in the base?
Thanks
