Core Techniques

Mortise and Tenon Joint

Mortise and Tenon Joint

The mortise and tenon joint is the cornerstone of traditional Chinese furniture making. This ancient technique creates strong, durable connections without the use of nails or screws. Each joint is precisely cut by hand to ensure a perfect fit, resulting in furniture that can last for generations.
