HALVED JOINTS |
||||
| Cross halving joints are probably the most simple of joints to mark out and cut. They are used whenever it is necessary to join two pieces of wood that cross over each other. Sometimes these joints can be seen on the strengthening rails of tables and chairs. | ||||

These are good examples of ‘Halved Joints’. In this type of joint one piece crosses over the other part. If you look closely you can easily see that a part of each piece of wood has been cut away so that they both fit together when they are finally glued together. Notice there are different names for each halving joint. |
