Can anyone direct me to some instructions on cutting dovetails on joints that meet at odd angles - specifically at about a 120 degree angle. I am building a casket, traditional pine box that is wide at the shoulders and tapers toward the feet - for my dad at his request.

Any other suggestions about how to proceed with this project would be welcome.
