THE DOUBLE MORTISE AND TENON |
TWIN MORTISE AND TENON |
||
|
This joint is used for rails for strengthening tables and chairs. As usual, wood working adhesive such as PVA or cascamite is used to make the joint permanent |
This is a very strong mortise and tenon because the two tenons give a greater gluing area than a single tenon. It is used where great strength is required at a joint. |
