Cross Lap Joint

Detail: The Cross Lap Joint is a cruciform intersection of a tenon and a mortise, providing an uncomplicated yet sturdy framework with reliable support and stability. This type of joint is often employed in creating corner connections for furniture, including table and chair legs.

Process: The construction of a Cross Lap Joint involves sawing the frame at a 45° angle, which eliminates the need for extra tenons or mortises. Just fit the frame pieces snugly together, then carve out grooves of identical width and depth at the top of each corner, ensuring the right-angle portions interlock seamlessly. Place a wooden board into these grooves and fasten it with adhesive. This technique is both efficient and simple from a production perspective.
