Woodworking JoineryMortise and Tenon Joint

The mortise and tenon joint is used to connect two pieces of wood at a 90 degrees angle. In its basic form it is both simple and strong, including two components – the mortise hole and tenon.The tenon is formed on the end of a piece referred to as the rail and it is inserted into a square or rectangular cutout (mortise) on the corresponding piece of wood .

The tenon is precisely cut to fit the mortise hole. The joint may be glued, pinned or wedged to lock it in place .
