traditional joinery

Traditional joinery refers to the art and craft of connecting wooden pieces without the use of nails or screws. Instead, it employs various techniques such as interlocking shapes, notches, and wooden pegs to create strong, durable joints. Common types include mortise and tenon, dovetail, and lap joints. This method not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of furniture and structures but also allows for natural expansion and contraction of wood. Joinery has been used for centuries in woodworking, emphasizing craftsmanship and sustainability in creating lasting pieces.
