Hand cut joinery

by admin | July 15th, 2009

I wanted to share a few snapshots that I took while putting together this collection of furniture. A key aspect of the furniture we make and design is the hand cut joinery. Largely inspired by Japanese carpentry, these joints are critical not only in their sturdiness but also in the design.

Here are photos of the fitted Mechigai-dome (rabbeted stub tenon) joinery and corresponding modified tenons for the Ond Bench.

Here is an example of Kashigi-oire (angled stub mortise) joinery that is used by the upright supports into the back slab of the Forbannelse chair.

And here is a traditional mortise and tenon that is implemented in joining the pedestal to the horizontal base of the Helvete Dining table.
