Fitted Tenon

Detail: The Fitted Tenon is a popular choice for joining wooden strips at corners, characterized by each strip ending in a tenon that snugly fits into the adjacent strip's mortise. This joint, known in Chinese as a "double-sided shoulder with recesses on both sides," ensures that the tenons are hidden from the exterior, creating an aesthetically seamless bond. This design not only guarantees a strong and precise connection but also preserves the sleek and uniform look of the woodwork.

Process: In assembling the Fitted Tenon, the ends of both wooden strips are crafted into precise tenons that are then slotted into the tailor-made mortises of the opposing strip. The mortises are meticulously designed with the characteristic double-sided shoulder and recesses on both sides, securing the tenons tightly in place for a robust joint.
