Very intriguing. Why didn't you want to expose the dovetails? Now it looks like a rabbet joint.

Ok, please do reveal just a little bit more detail Neal.... On desktop/ laptop, you can select View from the menu then select the zoom options.
That would be View in your browser.Ok, please do reveal just a little bit more detail Neal.
"select View from the menu" Select View in which menu? I don't see that option (but I also haven't been through every menu!).
Thanks (I can work with a computer, until I can't...)
Ahhh yes, that View.That would be View in your browser.
Using Firefox, kind of a pain to ctrl/+++ then --- the whole page rather than click on the pic. Also, some posts have multiple pictures that show as a slideshow and others that you have to click one by one. I like the option to just click and see it full screen. BTW, could you move this part of the conversation over to my post of the question?When using a phone or tablet to view thre site, you can pinch thr screen to zoom in & out. On desktop/ laptop, you can select View from the menu then select the zoom options.

Alright guys, the joint presents as a miter when finished. And this type of joint was used a lot in many period pieces. You always have to remember that exposed celebrated dovetails and some joints are a 20th and a 21st century thing. So what I’m doing here is, I’m getting the strength of the dovetail and the clean look of the miter.
Jeff, I’m sorry you are going blind, sage advise eat lots of carrots.
Thanks, I’ve heard it called both a full blind dovetail and or the secret dovetail. I call it a full bind dovetail based on the person I learned how to do this from. If he were alive he’d probably say “there ain't no secret“ myself, I’ve never seen the term secret dovetail in any period writing but I haven’t read but a few, I should read more. I haven’t completely mastered this one and I hope to improve from here. I have several pieces coming up soon that will employ this joint.Richard, that’s quite the joint there, that I have never had the pleasure of attempting (yet). A better description for the joint is it’s alias , the secret dovetail joint. Congratulations
