Shouldered Tenon

Detail: The Shouldered Tenon is a prevalent joinery technique for affixing table legs to tabletops. Its hallmark lies at the top of the table leg, where an angled shoulder is fashioned to receive a clamping strip. This strip is then joined to the mortise in the tabletop, resulting in a seamless surface. As weight is applied to the tabletop, the clamping strip nestles firmly into the angled shoulder of the leg, ensuring a robust and stable connection.

Process: The Shouldered Tenon, akin to the Chuck Tenon, features a variation in its design. At the top end of the table leg, an open slot with an angled shoulder is crafted, permitting the insertion of a clamping strip that aligns perfectly with the tabletop's surface. As the tabletop is loaded, the clamping strip snugly engages with the angled shoulder on the leg, enhancing the stability of the overall structure.
