    I honestly don’t know why I thought of trying this, but here are the results.

    End on end dovetails I call them, there are a few gaps, but you will get the general Idea. Would they have any practical use, good question. ๐Ÿ™‚

    This was just two bits of scrap, not even the same thickness, they are not glued up, just dry fitted. If I took my time and did it properly I think they would look Ok. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I like it Ken. Not sure about the application either. If nothing else, decorative. A chisel box with (8) dovetail joints, (4) on the corners, (4) on the sides.

    Would look cool with two different colors of wood. You could make a dovetail box with end on end dovetail walls of light and dark color woods.

    Ken,

    Usually commercial firms use finger joints (machine made) to join boards end to end. I’ve not seen your application before, but I think it would depend on the manner in which you used it. Not sure what that would be though.

    Good on you for experimenting.

    Would it be possible to make the middle dovetail on the other piece of wood? Not sure if it’s easily done, but it would make it stand out more perhaps.

    Ken would look good as a decorative feature as already stated above.
    Then only other thing I can see it being used for would be to lengthen boards.
    Well done Ken ๐Ÿ˜‰

    This thread looks like it has been dead for some time. I have a few book-end-matched live-edge boards I would like use as a table and end jointing them together with a visible joint is a useful approach, I am thinking about a short band of accenting wood as an intermediary, so a lighter maple highly figured piece, to a darker, perhaps walnut board (maybe a few boards wide and edge-glued) (maybe dominoed) then the matched live edge heading off in the book-end orientation. The tabletop is well supported and could be reinforced with a stringer or two below, if the joints themselves prove unstable.
