Steve, I'm already a "knot head". Don't need any more. 
Tom, once again I didn't do a good job of splain'n myself. I'm not really worried about the end grain. What I wanted to avoid was seeing an obvious glue line or seam like this:

As long as it doesn't look like Bubba worked on it, it will be OK.

It's tough to get end grain to match. If I had realized what you were doing sooner I would have suggested that you cut the dovetail on an angle so it went all the way through, then there would have been no end grain to match. I'm sure it will look fine once you get it oiled up.
