It’s a beautiful joint and the wood was lovely. However. All that hard chiselling work making the joint very expensive to create. Why wasn’t a router and template used? An accurate male and female template, would greatly reduce the time taken. Also the mortised part could be subjected to stress along the wood grain, in time compromising the construction.
Amazing!!
Thanks!!

Great point!
Artistically interesting, but - a lot of short grain, and basically a waste of a professionals' time !
Thank you !
