How to Make Inlaid Dovetails (Double Dovetails)
First I milled up and squared all pine and cedar stock. I am using pine for the two main boards and cedar for the inlay. Initially I cut each to 12”L x 3-5/16” W x ½” T. See Fig. 4
Next, I divide my stock into 4” lengths and begin the marking and layout process. I pencil mark each piece “Tails”, “Pins”, and “Inlay” as shown in Fig 5.

Thanks Pottz. I'm looking it back over at the moment double checking.
I find that some of the techniques used can be applied for other work, makes for worthy viewing!
Yep. That's what I love about doing dovetails. One hones their skills for other things. You pick up discipline need elsewhere.
