What types of joinery are used?
Traditional 18th century joinery construction methods, including mortise and tenon, and dovetail joinery are used. Mortise and tenon joinery is the best way to construct table frames, doors, bed headboards and footboards, desks and many other items. Many of our chests and bookcases feature hand-cut dovetail frame construction. These methods makes the furniture extremely sturdy and allows the wood to adjust to fluctuating temperature.
