<p>[QUOTE=&quot;James Conrad, post: 375540, member: 5066&quot;]I think those are called &quot;french&quot; dovetails. There were a lot of dovetail experiments with drawer boxes in america from 1850-1900, probably the most famous was pin &amp; cove or &quot;Knap&quot; joint. They struggled with mechanizing dovetail construction with many furniture manufacturers just doing it the old fashioned way, by hand. You often see victorian era furniture that is mostly machine built except the hand dovetailed drawer boxes. By 1900 they finally figured it out and all these dovetail experiments went nite nite.</p><p>Knap Joint</p><p>[ATTACH=full]129350[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
