Ever wonder how the classic dovetail joint got its name? It’s said the shape resembles a dove’s tail, which makes sense given its elegance. I often use them in drawer construction, and they truly are a hallmark of fine craftsmanship. What’s your favorite joint for detail work?

I love dovetails for elegance, but I find the strength of mortise and tenon joints really cant be beat for tables and chairs. What’s your go-to project for trying new joints?
