Tenonics

Tenonics is a term used in the field of architecture and construction to describe the technique of joining two pieces of wood together using a mortise and tenon joint. This method involves cutting a rectangular slot (mortise) into one piece of wood and fitting a corresponding rectangular projection (tenon) from another piece into the slot. The tenon is typically cut at a 45-degree angle to the face of the wood, which allows for a tight and secure fit. Tenonics is often used in traditional woodworking and joinery, and it is valued for its strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal. The technique requires precision in cutting and fitting, and it is commonly used in the construction of furniture, architectural elements, and other wooden structures. Tenonics has been a fundamental aspect of woodworking for centuries, and it continues to be an important skill in the field of carpentry and joinery.
