A joinery workshop on Edmundson Street, Onekawa, Napier.

5.0 on Google from 3 reviews

A dovetail corner on a workbench by a window: a light board with three tails joined to a dark reddish board with the pins between them.
The same dovetail pulled apart: three tails on the light board, the dark board's pins that fit between them.

How a dovetail holds

An example joint, built to show the craft. Not a photo of their work.

  1. Two boards meet at a corner. The joint is what holds them.
  2. One board is cut into tails, the other into pins that fit between them.
  3. The tails flare outward, so the corner can only come apart one way.
  4. “Quality joiner!”
