Dovetail Joints - Noted for its resistance to being pulled apart ( tensile strength ) and once glued, a wooden dovetail joint requires no mechanical fasteners. You can currently choose from two types of dovetail joints, other types will be added in the future. Let us know if you have a need for a type that is not featured on this site.
