Default angled finger joint? for beehive

I want to make this beehive

, it's called a "WBC"hive if anyone wants to read about it.


If I had any quantity to build, I'd cut 'em on the cnc router using a
1/16" bit...


Am I missing something here? Wouldn't he cut four identical isosceles
trapezoid shapes and then cut the box joints on the opposite angled ends?
Each end is straight and 90° square, so box joints should be a breeze. My
math is most certainly out of date, but if there's a problem with this, it
bewilders me as to what it is.
