I want to build a raised garden bed for my wife this weekend and was wondering which dovetail bit I would use and or if there is a better way than a dovetail to recreate the look below. The grove on the 4 x 4 looks like a dovetail to me and I have ordered a Freud 3/4" (Dia.) Dovetail Bit with 1/2" Shank (22-114). It should be here Saturday. I plan on getting some 3/4" cedar or pine depending on whats at the big box store and if the later treat it with linseed oil or something similar. My question is I see that the dovetail makes the slot but is there a matching bit for the 7 degree angle on what will be the rails? I saw a "Butterfly Spline" bit in my catalog but it specifically states it is for 14 degree dovetail bits. I am till trying to learn how these things work around here so sorry if it is a silly question.
Thanks in advance
