Hand-cut inlaid dovetails, by a member of Lumberjocks

A woodworker at Lumberjocks, Martin, aka Woodhacker, documented in a wonderful photographic procedure how to make inlaid dovetails using hand tools. This is the first time I have ever seen inlaid dovetails done exclusively with hand tools; and Martin’s results are terrific!

The following is the outcome of Martin’s effort – you can read the entire process at Woodhacker’s blog at Lumberjocks (the images are linked back to his photos, on Photobucket):
