Woodworking joint in which fan-shaped tongues projecting from one member fit into corresponding fan-shaped slots cut in second member.
a flaring tenon and mortise wood joint.
A classic woodworking joint and the traditional method of neck attachment for fine steel string and acoustic guitars and mandolins.
A wedge-shaped tenon that fits into a corresponding cut-out space to form an interlocking joint.
A tenon cut in the shape of a dove's tail to fit into a mortise of corresponding shape.
A joint of two interlocking blocks that flare outwards in the shape of the tail of a dove.
A very strong joint in which a tapered, fan-shaped “pin†on one part of a project slips into a matching recess on the mating part. Dovetail joints are usually formed with a special router bit, and most frequently used in drawer and cabinet construction.
To fit together more than one outcome, story, etc.
A type of joining with interlocking flaring tenons which resemble the tail feathers of a dove.
A manner of making joints by having a series of projections in one piece fitting into corresponding recesses in another piece. A joint in carpenter work. It is a poor joint in timber where much stress has to be provided for. The shape of the tongue of the joint is like that of the spread tail of a dove.
a mortise joint formed by interlocking tenons and mortises
fit together tightly, as if by means of a dovetail
It is a pattern made by cutting pins in the shape of dovetails generally used in drawer construction.
A method of joining wood at corners by the use of interlocking pins and tails. It is commonly used for making very strong joints in wooden drawers.
A flaring joint between two pieces of wood, forming an interlocking tight fit.
A decorative, durable joint formed by tight interlocking wedges.
the combination of a flaring tenon and the mortise into which it tightly fits to make an interlocking joint between two pieces (as in wood); dovetail neck-joints are favored by traditional guitar makers. DREADNOUGHT: large-body, thick-waisted acoustic guitar pioneered by Frank H. Martin and Harry Hunt in the early 1900s; today, the term is used generically to describe that body style.
a type of quality joinery using interlocking wedges with alternating grooves to connect the front and sides of a drawer.
A term used to describe a joining process of two pieces of material. Both pieces have wing-shaped notches that interlock. Generally known as the strongest joint typically used in furniture and cabinet drawers.
1) Method of joining boards at right angles by interlocking wedge-shaped mortises and tenons. Often used in drawer construction. 2) A butterfly-shaped inset used to join boards lengthwise in table tops and floors.
A method of fastening boards together by fitting pieces shaped like a wedge into like opposing cavities. Used most often in drawer assembly.
A joinery method used for joining two perpendicular parts, commonly used for making very strong joints in wooden drawer boxes. One part is machined with inverted "V" shaped projections (dovetail profile) and fitted into another part that is machined with the opposite "V" shaped cutouts.
A method of wood joinery using a flared projection that fits into a matching indentation to form a strong joint; frequently used for quality drawer construction.
This joint connects two pieces of wood. One piece has a flared head while the adjoining piece has a flared cut. The resulting joint is very strong. Look for dovetails as signs of good quality and long lasting durability, particularly on drawers.
A fan-shaped tenon that when fitted into a corresponding mortise forms a tight interlocking joint. Known for their strength and durability, dovetail drawers are examples of high-quality drawer construction.
A joinery method in which wedge-shaped parts are interlocked to form a tight bond. This joint is commonly used on furniture parts, such as drawers.
tenon broader at its end than at its base. A joint formed by one or more such tenons fitting tightly within corresponding mortises.
A European styled and rolled joint, looks like a bird.
A cabinet-maker's joint, fitting two pieces of wood together at right angles, in which a series of wedge-shaped projections (the 'dove's tail', hence the name) in one piece, fit into corresponding slots in the other. It is a strong joint, especially resistant to outward pull, hence often found on drawers. A Half-dovetail has one side (of both the protruding dovetail and the slot part) angled and the other straight; a Lapped-dovetail does not extend all the way through on one surface.
Method of joining boards, often in drawers, in which interlocking tendons suggest the form of a dovetail.
Joint construction made by cutting pins in the shape of dovetails, which fit between dovetails upon another piece. Commonly found in drawer construction.
A tenon that is shaped like a dove's spread tail to fit into a corresponding mortise.
A decorative, durable joint formed by interlocking wedges; typically used on drawer fronts.
Woodworking joint whose ends are fanned out like a Dove's tail due to the recessed lots cut into the board, which are called mortises and the projection that fit into the mortises, which are called tenons.
Woodworking technique consisting of two interlocking joints; indicative of quality craftsmanship.
Method of joining boards at right angles by interlocking wedge-shaped tenons and mortises. Generally used in drawer construction. Also, a butterfly-shaped inset used to join boards lengthwise in table tops and floors.
