Through Dovetail Joint

  • Known for its resistance to being pulled apart (tensile strength).

  • Due to the trapezoidal shape of the pins and tails, this joint requires no mechanical fasteners once glued.

  • It is often used to join the sides of a drawer to the front as it is well suited to resisting the repeated pulling forces.
