Frame CompanySimple Mortise & TenonThis is the most basic and likely the first closed mortise connection. A version of this joint, in stone, and without a peg, can be seen in Stonehenge. It is beyond a doubt, the best connection for a vertical post to support a horizontal beam. An average frame, 1400 -1800 sq ft, would typically have 18 - 25 of these joints. |
