This is a tutorial on how I make “Inlaid Dovetails” sometimes referred to as double dovetails.  You can make them what I call in Fig. 1) “Tail Outlined”  or  Fig. 2) “Tail Faced”.  And depending what wood you use you can get different looks as well as shown in Fig. 3. For great results good handsaw cutting is essential. This technique is labor intensive and requires relaxed but solid concentration. 

I will be showing how to do Fig. 1 in this tutorial.
