Carpenters have relied on the dovetail joint for centuries, and no wonder: it is both elegant and effective. Like a jigsaw puzzle, a wedge-shaped like a bird tail at the end of one piece of wood fits snugly within a groove in another piece. As the wood expands, contracts, and bends with changing environmental conditions, the separate pieces support and strengthen each other.

To make Dovetail Cabinet, we slowly dry planks of European oak for an optimal finish. We then use a high-tech mill to precision-cut the ridge and groove of the joint. The dovetail connection extends across the entirety of each plank’s end so that the parts fit together firmly and stay secure—no glue necessary.
