It does look good.
Continuous grain can add appeal to a piece. It is a good practice to make in to a habit.I took advantage of the scrap I used to make the grain continuous from piece to piece - not sure if that is a thing when dovetails are involved (I've seen it on mitered corners) but it was easy enough to implement as part of the practice.

Dovetails look good to me!
Your other projects are nice and very practical.
Welcome to the hobby!

Really well done dovetails, Brian! And pine isn’t always the easiest to work with. The wrap around grain is something I always try to do with mitered corners, but using it for dovetails is a great touch.
I’ve been playing with shellac for quite some time now. Search SMC and you’ll find a number of posts with great tips. A number of members here are very good at applying shellac. Practicing joinery and/or finishing gives a certain usefullness to all the scraps I just can’t seem to ever toss
