re: Splined Dovetail or Inlaid Dovetail

I like both, but each has its own application. The inlaid dovetail, to me, appears to be for a more high-end application, elegant furniture. The splined application, while just as beautiful, would be used for daily use furniture - a blanket chest, child's toy box, etc.
Either way, they both look great and demonstrate a high level of craftsmanship. Nice work Rick.
