We use a range of fine wood working techniques.

Mortise and Tenon - the chairmakers joint! A mortise (a slot) is cut into one part, and a matching tenon (peg) is cut onto the other. The joint is slid together with glue for a very strong bond. Additionally many of our mortise and tenon joints are wedged for an additional mechanical lock on the joint.

Dovetails - in a dovetail joint the tails and pins provide a mechanical lock between parts and are used extensively in traditional cabinetry and in drawer construction.

Steam Bending - pieces of solid timber are soaked in steam, and then bent to a new shape, and then held in position as they cool and then dry. he timber will then maintain the new shape. Depending on the timber species and the degree of curvature, the timber is bent on a single sided former, a two part form, or with a strap supporting the bend.

Laminating - in laminated work curved elements are made by gluing thin strips of solid timber together. We use a rigid setting glue in a curved former (or mold) to create the shaped element. These are pieces of Queensland Maple that are destined to the rear leg rail component of Sprung Series chairs, and the completed components.
