Introducing Western Heritage Furniture's latest creation: The Dovetail Series

Western Heritage - Sunday, November 15, 2009


The dovetail joint is the strongest way to join two pieces of wood. It is also one of the oldest known construction methods for furniture making.Some of the earliest known examples of the dovetail joint are found in furniture entombed with mummies dating from the First Dynasy of ancient Egypt, as well as the tombs of Chinese emperors. It is argued that this joint predates the written word.

Western Heritage Furniture dovetails are both hand-cut and hand-fitted. The strength, history and natural beauty of the dovetail joint represents the very soul of Western Heritage Furniture.
