I'm not trying to be critical, just trying to learn. (Not that I'd ever
attempt anything like that)
Some of the "seams" seemed a little ragged, maybe with some gaps. What
does one do when that happens, even with a "standard" dovetail?
Can it be fixed/hidden or is the piece basically ruined/used as is?
Leave the minor imperfections - to show that they're hand-made !
:-) or call them "distressed" dovetails ...?
I like 'em but would never attempt them either .

There might be an interesting effect to round over a normal DT joint.
