Joinery
Joinery is a part of woodworking that involves
joining together two or more pieces of wood to
create a structure. Modern construction techniques
frequently rely solely on mechanical brackets and
fasteners or pneumatic nail guns to form a joint;
however, these can weaken over time with seasonal
changes in wood. Traditional wood joinery involves
joining wood using some form of interlocking joint.
Some wood joints employ fasteners, bindings, or
adhesives, while others use only wood elements.
The use of traditional woodworking joinery is the
very essence of fine woodworking. Wood structures
that incorporate the use of traditional joinery far
outlast similar structures that use only butt joints
held with nails or screws. At
Creative Landscape Accents
each project is handcrafted using old-fashioned
joinery techniques and construction standards while
incorporating the benefits of advanced hardware,
fasteners and adhesives.
Complex projects require numerous joinery techniques
with each designed to meet differing structural requirements.
