Hi all;
I'm about to start my Christmas presents for my daughters. I'm making
them keepsake boxes out of Honduran mahogany. Dimensions will be
something like 16"L X 12" W X 7" H. I'll use my Leigh jig for the
dovetails.
This time I'd like to vary the spacing and layout of the dovetails,
rather than make them evenly spaced. I'm just out of ideas as to what
irregular spacing might look "right" on a box of those dimensions.
Anybopdy got any ideas or inspiration?
Thanks a heap,

You can use any kind of spacing you think looks good. My personal
visual preference is even spacing.
