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.

QUESTIONS:

1. What is the difference between the double mortise and tenon and the twin mortise and tenon?

2. Draw one of the joints shown above.
