One day I'll have time for these. All of them require no screws, nails or glue.

Worked with a master craftsman and architectural model maker, ~45 years ago.
He made a few "brag" pieces to show what he could do. One was a 3" (75mm) cube. Top half maple (light), bottom half cherry (dark). On each of the four sides (around the "equator") was a dovetail, all identical, about an inch across. All four dovetails pointed the same way (male part was in cherry, female part cut into the maple.
How was this assembled? It fit perfectly tightly (like the Japanese joints in tfa), no gaps inside. Sorry, don't have any pics, I didn't have a (film) camera back then.
