Lugged Gravel Bike?

Has anyone made a lugged gravel frame? I'm itching for a new project and was thinking gravel bike. I'm comfortable working with lugs so that would be my first choice.

As I understand it a gravel bike is very similar to a relaxed geometry road bike with a lot of tire clearance. How does a gravel bike differ from a cyclocross bike? Cantilever brakes on a gravel bike?

I imagine building in adequate rear tire clearance would be one of the main challenges.

I've got a Daza XL OS lug set and one of Kurt's XL OS bottom brackets courtesy of Andy laying in wait.

Anyway, just thinking out loud. Please share your thoughts and recommendations.
