The joinery is extremely tight and sturdy, so much so, that a piece of paper will not slide inside. All products are test fitted in our 12,000 square foot shop, then sanded and finished. We use traditional mortise and tenon joinery, secured with oak pegs. No bolts, nails or steel plates. All joinery is housed and drawbored, this assures that the joinery is even and stays tight. The peg holes in the tenons are offset; approx. 1/8" inch. This offset hole drifts the tenon into the mortise housing. Frames of this quality will last many generations.
