Description

Joinery technique most commonly used in woodworking joinery (carpentry) and traditional timber framing. Noted for its resistance to being pulled apart (tensile strength). A series of 'pins' cut to extend from the end of one board interlock with a series of 'tails' cut into the end of another board. The pins and tails have a trapezoidal shape. Once glued, a wooden dovetail joint requires no mechanical fasteners.
