A person or tool that creates dovetail joints, which are interlocking wedge-shaped cuts used in woodworking to connect pieces of wood.
From dovetail (the joint resembles a dove's tail) plus the agent suffix -er. The dovetail joint itself dates to medieval woodworking, named for its shape.
Dovetail joints are so strong that they were used in ancient Egyptian furniture thousands of years ago—no nails or glue needed! Master craftspeople could create them by hand, and their skill was incredibly valuable.
