wood joinery

Wood joinery is the technique used to connect pieces of wood together in a way that is strong, stable, and often visually appealing. It involves different methods like nails, screws, dowels, joints, or interlocking cuts. Common types include dovetail, mortise and tenon, and lap joints. The choice depends on the project’s purpose, load requirements, and desired appearance. Proper joinery ensures furniture and structures are durable and can withstand regular use, all while maintaining a clean and professional look. It’s a fundamental skill in woodworking that balances strength, function, and craftsmanship.
