Mortise & Tenon
Joints
 This is the type of joint used in all our teak
furniture, it is the most durable and quiet joint. All
of us have been in a wood chair that creaks and wobbles. The chair
joints have weakened with age and use and eventually needs repair or
replacement. One of the reasons is the type of joint used, whether
it be screws, glue or other types of joining two pieces of wood
together.

A mortise and
tenon joint consists, in simple terms, of a 'tongue', (the
tenon) that slots into a hole (the mortise) cut in the mating piece
of timber. The strength of the joint makes it ideal for use
in fine furniture work. For a really strong joint the tenon must be
a tight fit into the mortise, so care must be taken when cutting
both parts of the joint. For maximum strength, the tenon width
should never be more than one third the width of the timber in which
it is cut. |
Wood Dowels

Using teak dowels also means quiet, strong, long lasting
furniture. |
