A Board Stretcher Joint. Just for Fun.

These are renderings from my CNC software of a zipper joint I came up with. A simple way to connect the ends of two boards. Easy to cut using a 3/16" end mill with the boards clamped flat.  This joint could even be used across the center of a table top. For furniture buyers with trouble deciding which woods they want their furniture to made from.  

Mix wood types

Both sides use the same toolpath

Are there schisms between members of your family?  Sport fans who don't agree on the teams they support?  Hardwoods are available in many colors, and two different colors of wood could be used to make a zippered table with both team colors.  

Just for fun. Very possible.
