Wooden joinery


Wooden joinery is a crucial aspect of creating bespoke furniture and interiors. Joinery involves joining two or more pieces of wood together in a way that is both strong and visually appealing. There are several types of wooden joinery techniques, each with its own unique benefits and uses. Pieces Bespoke Furniture and Interiors, are committed to using the highest quality joinery techniques in our custom furniture pieces. In this article, we will explore some of the most common types of wooden joinery and how they are used in our custom furniture.

Dovetail Joinery


Dovetail joinery is a technique that involves interlocking wedge-shaped cuts in two pieces of wood. This joinery technique is known for its strength and is often used in furniture pieces that require a lot of weight-bearing support, such as drawers or cabinets. At Pieces-Bespoke Furniture and Interiors, we frequently use dovetail joinery in our custom drawers to ensure they can withstand the test of time.

Mortise and Tenon Joinery


Mortise and tenon joinery involves inserting one end of a piece of wood (the tenon) into a hole cut in the other piece of wood (the mortise). This joinery technique is commonly used in furniture construction, particularly in chairs and tables. Mortise and tenon joinery is known for its strength and durability, making it a great choice for furniture pieces that will see frequent use.

Butt Joint Joinery


Butt joint joinery is one of the simplest and most basic types of joinery. This technique involves simply joining the ends of two pieces of wood together. While this type of joinery is not as strong as some of the other techniques, it is still useful in certain situations, such as when joining two pieces of wood at a right angle. At Pieces-Bespoke Furniture and Interiors, we occasionally use butt joint joinery in our furniture pieces when appropriate.

Lap Joint Joinery


Lap joint joinery involves overlapping two pieces of wood and joining them together with screws or glue. This joinery technique is commonly used in furniture construction, particularly in pieces that require added strength, such as bookcases or shelves. At Pieces-Bespoke Furniture and Interiors, we frequently use lap joint joinery in our custom bookcases to ensure they can support heavy loads of books and other items.

Box Joint Joinery


Box joint joinery involves cutting a series of notches in two pieces of wood and interlocking them together. This joinery technique is known for its strength and is commonly used in furniture pieces that require a lot of weight-bearing support, such as drawers or cabinets. At Pieces-Bespoke Furniture and Interiors, we frequently use box joint joinery in our custom cabinets to ensure they can withstand the test of time.

In conclusion, wooden joinery is an important aspect of creating bespoke furniture and interiors.
