I don't recall any work by Chris Becksvoort that used visible

http://www.chbecksvoort.com/tbeckdiff.html from his own website
(second photo from the top). Shows an applied molding on a
traditional case; the scribes are right on the top surface of the
case.

So where's the visible dovetail ? It has a marking line alright, but
that's on the top of a wardrobe ! It's hardly a visible part of the
piece - ever looked round the back of the pediment on a
Goddard-Townsend secretary ? Rough as anything where it doesn't show.

(You've got to love the work of someone who dovetails a moulding - now
that really is a nice touch, even if the client never notices)
