Be creative with tradition & keep the craft alive.
The dovetail joint is an ancient joinery technique, it’s used in Egyptian furniture dating from the first dynasty. It’s interesting to think about how this technique could be kept alive in the present day, apart from the benefits from its practical attributes of tensile strength. By using a reliable tried and tested technique it becomes easier to deconstruct it, to explore and push its boundaries from a solid foundation, and push this into the present day through creativity and experimentation.
