    TYPES OF WOOD

    JOINT
    Reymond E. Maliberan
    Wood Joints
    Advantages
    • − Give strength
    • − Long lasting
    • − Decorative
    • − Resist forces well
    Disadvantages
    • − Time-consuming
    • − Require skill – difficult to make
    • − Special tools needed
    Butt Joint
    • One of the most simple joints,
    this is simply putting the ends
    of two pieces together.
    • It joins the end grain of one
    piece to the long grain of
    another and the two pieces
    are glued together.
    • These joints typically only use
    glue to hold the pieces
    together, so they are fairly
    weak and can be broken just
    using your hands.
    Biscuit Joint
    • A reinforced version of the
    butt joint.
    • This joint uses a “biscuit” to
    connect the two pieces.
    • A biscuit is an oval-shaped
    piece usually made with
    compressed wood and is
    placed in corresponding
    mortises.
    • Glue is then used to secure
    the pieces
    Bridle Joint
    • This joint is similar to a mortise
    and tenon, but with more open
    holes in the wood.
    • The end of one piece of wood
    is cut into a tenon shape and
    the other piece of wood is cut
    into a mortise, so that the two
    pieces that can be fitted
    together to form a corner.
    • This joint can be used to create
    legs or to help create frame
    pieces when it’s being shaped.
    • This is a strong joint with good
    durability.
    Dado (Joinery)
    • A dado is nothing more than
    a square-grooved slot on
    one board where another
    board will fit.
    • Similar to tongue and groove
    joinery
    • This is a commonly-used
    wood joint for connecting
    plywood.
    Dovetail Joint
    • A form of box joint where
    the fingers are locked
    together by diagonal cuts.
    • The strongest method for
    joining two pieces of wood
    with the grain going in the
    same direction.
    Finger Joint
    • Similar to the dovetail joint
    • The finger joint also has a
    series of pins along an edge
    that are interlocked together
    using glue.
    • The difference is that the
    finger joint pins are straight
    instead of angled.
    • This joint isn’t as strong as
    the dovetail, but it is fairly
    easy to make.
    Lap Wood Joint
    • The lap wood joint combines
    two pieces of wood by
    cutting away half the
    thickness of the pieces.
    • This joint is typically used
    when the two pieces have
    the same thickness.
    • The portion of wood cut
    away will fit into the
    corresponding cutout on the
    other piece.
    Mortise and
    Tenon
    • One of the strongest
    • The mortise and tenon is
    used to attach two pieces of
    wood at a 90-degree angle.
    • The mortise part of the joint
    is a hole or cavity cut into
    one piece of wood.
    • The tenon is typically around
    ⅓ the thickness of the piece
    of wood.
    Pocket Hole
    • A strong joint that uses a
    pocket hole that is cut into
    one piece of wood with
    another pilot hole that
    allows a screw to be driven
    into the adjoining piece of
    wood.
    Rabbet Joint
    • The rabbet joint is simple and
    straightforward.
    • A cut is made into the end of a
    piece of wood to create a
    “step.”
    • This joint is in a variety of
    woodworking projects.
    Tongue and
    Groove
    • Joining two boards square to
    one another along a long
    edge, one can simply butt the
    joint together and hold it with
    fasteners.
    • The tongue and groove joint is
    much stronger
    • Provides more adjoining
    surface areas, which is
    particularly useful.
