    Default Leigh Super Jig- Inlaid Dovetail result

    Here are some photos of my first attempt at an inlaid dovetail on my new Leigh Jig. The species include; Silky Oak for the sides/ends and Mahogany for the inlay. It took a little bit of fine adjustment but otherwise came together quite easily. I have started another box today which incorporates these joints. Just having fun trying to make asymetrical dovetails (using both ends of the jig) so I can make one tail 4mm bigger to allow for the saw kerf when I cut the lid off. Joy!!

    Sorry about the picture quality- I only used my mobile phone.

    Cheers, Matt
    I'm confused??? Oh wait... Maybe I'm not?

    Matt,

    Your focus point was on the jig and not on the work. Try taking the picture a little farther away. When the shot is blown up the wood will be in focus and we get a better view of what looks to be a very nice job. It doesn't matter if the original picture needs a little cropping to get rid of details that aren't interesting. Using silky oak does a good job of giving the object texture and emphasising the joint. Besides, it is a pretty wood.
