Who or what is sliding dovetails?

Welcome to sliding dovetails on Squarespace. Sliding dovetails is a one-man woodworking shop run by me, Devin Taylor, located in Davis, California. My background and skillset are made up of a mixture of things. I have spent much of the past >25 years doing fieldwork in places like the Southwest USA, California, Costa Rica, Galapagos-Ecuador, Mexico, the Alaskan Arctic, and a few places in-between, almost always with avian research projects. When not doing fieldwork (roughly March->August) I have spent a fair amount of time working in public schools in a variety of positions. For quite a while now, I have been expanding my woodworking skillset by taking woodworking classes at places like Oregon College of Art & Craft, Port Townsend School of Woodworking, and most recently, I attended the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship (CFC) in their 3-month furniture intensive course in Maine. I have always enjoyed building and making things, but it was really at CFC that I learned about finer woodworking skills. Most of the work on this site is smaller scale items offered for sale on this website or you can contact me directly to buy things via email/phone/text. If you have specific custom woodwork projects you are interested in, feel free to contact me. Thanks for looking/visiting!
