Day 5 of 30 of practicing dovetails
The mahogany threw me a little first chiseling it. It was way softer than the maple and I gouged it a little . I did get the tails bigger than the pins this time. Also I’m out of maple and mahogany at this point. I can get poplar, red oak, maple, mahogany, possibly a few others from the closest box store but if it’s worth practicing on something else I can make the half hour drive for pretty much whatever I want from a local lumber place. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Also I appreciate all the tips. At some point in the next 30 days I’m probably going to make a box or something so it’s not just all cutoffs lol.
