Wedged tenon

Floating top small end table with wedged through tenons in white ash and walnut

Q. I was making a three-legged stool with round through-tenons attaching the legs to the seat. When I drove a wedge into one of the slotted tenons, the seat split. I was able to repair it, but I don’t want to risk more damage. How do I get a tight wedged joint without splitting the seat again? Carl BensonCasper, Wyomin

A good way to fasten tenons is to wedge them. This can be done whether the tenon goes through the mortise piece or only part way, as in a blind mortise and tenon joint.

End grain is not the best gluing surface, so it’s fortunate that Chinese artisans in the twelfth century perfected an ancient joint that today allows us to maximize gluing surfaces while also permitting a more mechanical approach to joint making. In short, a finger (called a tenon) is milled on the end of a workpiece,

Building this staked Roman workbench was another opportunity to do one of my favorite woodworking operations: riving and paring wedges. I started with white oak that I’ve had sitting around since building my “Roubo” lathe (seen in the banister-back chair article) last year but any straight grain bone-dry hardwood would do. With a mallet and hatchet (a wide chisel also works), I split off several pieces about a ¼” thick. This only took one moderate ‘thump’ per piece. With my four pieces…
