It seems like everyone posts their first dovetail attempt, so I figured I would post mine. Clearly I have a long ways to go! One face in particular has some big gaps.

I'll be visiting family soon, and thought it would be nice to make some small boxes for them as gifts. Box 1 used a basic miter joint, box 2 used splined miters, and for box 3 I wanted to use two different kinds of wood (pau rosa and cherry) so I thought a dovetail would look nicer than a miter joint, to really highlight the contrast. But first I had to learn how to do dovetails! So I gave it a shot on pine. This made me realize that I should practice dovetails a lot more before trying them on a gift for someone.
