Mesa Mark series timber cabs

[LostHombre]

Hi Does anyone have info on the type of timber join Mesa use on their exotic timber combo cabinets?

ie half blind dovetail etc?

Also the cab timber thickness?

Many thanks

Yes, the joints on exotic wood cabinet are half blind dovetail, (1/2" diameter dovetail bit). I'm not sure of the spacing but I'm guessing 1/2" spacing or maybe 9/16" spacing.
If I recall MESA exotic wood planks are 7/8" thick so something like a 8 deg. dovetail bit is used (7/16" depth).

3/4" planks can be used but that means you would use a 14 deg. dovetail (3/8" depth).
