Precedent

Without even realizing it, the box I've created for my twigs is reminiscent of a log cabin. The twigs and ledges stick out on the corners like in a log cabin.

From observing this image of how the corners of log cabins are put together, its helped me understand my project better. Maybe I can implement the way the logs are carved out to create a slot for the log on top of it.
