Due to seasonal humidity, wood will expand and contract as the moisture content changes. If this movement is restricted, tabletops will crack or warp, and drawers will stick. Using proper joinery is the key to preventing this. I hand select each piece of wood that will be used for a tabletop, checking for matching grain and color as well as consistent moisture content. Using a moisture meter, I ensure that each piece has the same moisture content so all pieces will expand and contract consistently. In addition, all table tops are fastened with hardwood clips inserted into slots in the aprons which allow the top to move with seasonal changes. All aprons are attached to the legs using mortise and tenon joinery, a tried and true technique that is one of the strongest joints used. All drawers use hardwood slides, unless metal slides are requested. All drawers also have stops on the top of the drawer cavity to prevent the drawer from tipping down when it is pulled out all the way. Drawers are constructed with dovetails, the strongest and most attractive joint used for furniture joinery.
