It was fascinating to watch, but I didn’t really like the finished piece.

Well, I think you blokes are being a little harsh with your criticism of the aesthetics (the skill, indeed the range of skills, are undeniable). i didn't mind the table at all as it was both imaginative and sculptural. Perhaps you are all still coming down off your festive highs and nothing measures up!

Technically impressive, but objectively worse than dovetails for actual strength

Beautiful technique.
The timber that he is cutting the dovetails from appears to be hinoki. This is very expensive - makes Huon Pine look cheap! One mistake, and $$$$$'s ....
Hinoki is the favoured timber for those massive Japanese temples, shrines and pagodas. It is also prefered for sashimono furniture.
