Wood Joint - Dovetail, Through

Scaled set of drawings of Through Dovetail Wood Joint in front and side views
Description
Description

A through dovetail joint displays interlocking pins and tails that extend through the full thickness of the adjoining pieces, visible from both sides. Renowned for its tensile strength, this joint resists being pulled apart, making it especially robust. The alternating pattern of end and side grain produces a distinctive zig-zag appearance at the joint's corners.

Used traditionally in box and case construction, the through dovetail is both a structural component and an indicator of skilled craftsmanship. The joint requires precise cutting for a snug fit but, when executed correctly, it stands as a testament to the perfect blend of durability and beauty in woodworking.
