Joinery is the method or technique used to connect pieces of wood. As defined by Wikipedia, joinery is the part of woodworking that involves joining together pieces of wood to produce more complex items.
Critical characteristics of wooden joints are strength, flexibility, toughness, and appearance.
Joinery is an art, and many woodcrafters may have differing opinions on which is best. Time spent making a wood product determines price points, and while worthwhile, some joinery does take longer.
In our opinion, Miter Joints with Corner Splines, Dovetail, and Box Joinery are the strongest, most rigid, most durable joints.
Our signature look is timeless, versatile, and clean lines for our products. We use strong, tough, and durable Miter Joints with Corner Splines to follow suit with this look.
If you drop a box made with less durable joinery such as Butt Joints, Half Lap, or Miter Joints without the corner splines, the wooden box is likely to burst apart when it hits the ground. These types of joinery offer a lower price point because there is less time involved in constructing the product and the products are not as durable.
There are all different price points for wood products. Next time you are shopping or even looking around your own home, pay attention to the joinery. It will give you an idea of the quality, longevity, and time spent making your product.
