Finger Joint

Detail: Finger-jointed tenons are a popular method for uniting boards, where matching notches with identical tooth spacing and tapered profiles are cut into the end grains and then glued together. Ideal for end-to-end bonds, sharp finger-joints connect lengthwise boards, while flat finger-joints secure corner angles. This technique is frequently seen in tabletops, boxes, drawers, and chair backs, among others. It boosts the adhesive surface and reinforces structural integrity.

Process: The finger joint is a craftsmanship technique where the interlocking parts resemble interlaced fingers or the teeth of a comb. It's mainly employed to extend shorter materials, like connecting squared timbers and board pieces or splicing curved elements. In the assembly process, adhesive is spread between the 'fingers,' and then longitudinal pressure is exerted to compress them snugly together, with lateral pressure applied to ensure they remain flat and aligned.
