I do a lot of dovetails.. Yep with a router and a Incra fence..

But usually just drawers, cases and stuff like that..

I have a large door I need to make using different woods.. Purpleheart and Lacewood..  Well, I like Purple and Brown together!

The sticks will be about 1 1/2 inch thick and 4 inches wide.. Approx.. Who knows when I get it all planned down..

However, some of the joints will be long grain to end grain..  NO!  No M&T.. Sorry..

OK to do? What should I look out for..

The joints are for decoration as well as to hold it together..
