Made an interesting change to the normal maple butcher block counter top. In this house the counter tops went up the side over the top and down the adjoining side. I used jumbo dovetails to connect the top and sides. The fun part was knowing that any mistake would rune the entire top you were working on.

I really like those dovetails! Strong work there!

You do great work. Like you said make a mistake and it is ruined. It looks like you made no mistakes. :)

Great looking whatever it is. Now tell us, did you cheat and hand cut the dovetails, or use a jig? Thank you
for sharing.

I jig everything I can, and run samples several times to make sure. That way when I do it for real, I only have to do it once. On this job, it would have been very expensive to do it twice.

Have your say...
