If you would dovetail a Sheraton chest top How would you do it?

 This is period Sheraton chest with solid sides from, then, Virginia with an unusual way of covering up an earlier normal segmented dovetailed construction technique.

Jeff, what's interesting to me about that picture is the chest side seems to have planer mill marks. Was this chest made at a time when it would have been planed by power?

I knew when I posted this picture that this would be a comment. I photographed this with light coming through a Plexiglas storm window which gives the rippled shadow. All surfaces are hand planed. Sorry for confusion. Good eye though.
