A blind mortise and tenon joint features a tenon (protruding piece) that fits into a mortise (recessed hole) but doesn't pass entirely through, concealing the joint from one side. This design provides the strength and stability of the traditional mortise and tenon without revealing the tenon on the opposite side. Essential in woodworking where aesthetics matter, such as furniture and cabinetry, this joint ensures clean lines without exposed end grain.
The blind aspect enhances visual appeal, while the interlocking components ensure structural integrity. Embodying a blend of traditional craftsmanship and refined aesthetics, the blind mortise and tenon stands as a testament to precise woodworking techniques.
Blind Mortise & Tenon Wood Joints have widths of 1/3 and joint depths of 1/2. Wood joints are typically used in wood members with widths between 1.5”-3.5” (3.8-8.9 cm) and depths between of .75”-3.5” (1.9-8.9 cm).
