How to use this prompt
The joint only reads as a dovetail if the flared geometry is explicit, so name 'flared pins and tails interlocking' — the word 'dovetail' alone renders as a plain butt joint with no mechanical interlock. The 'thin line of glue squeeze-out' is the realism cue; a dry joint looks like a render, a small bead of glue proves it was just assembled. Keep the wood pale maple so the end-grain chisel marks show; dark walnut swallows that detail. Even, soft light is essential — hard shadows hide the seam you are trying to show off.
Variations to try
- Exploded view — the two halves held apart to show the pin and tail profiles
- Walnut and maple contrast — two-tone wood to make the interlock pop
