I think if the relief cuts were closer to the edge of the board it may have “dovetailed” more effectively. Imagine trying to bend that much of a piece of wood.
You could also dovetail with the length of the board instead of across the board like a normal wedged tenon which would give more flexibility to “dovetail”
Thank you!! I could see it being valuable in chairs. Not sure what else it would be used for though. I like how if it is successful it will compress itself tight.
I forgot to thank you for the video very cool, I like that you dissected it to see how it fit
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
Glad you cut it open for final review!

all valid points! I will probably give this one a try again in the future.
What a neat video! I loved it.
I can see how a joint like this has value in certain builds.
Where has this type of joint been used? Chairs perhaps?
