Joinery & Support We decided to use butt joints for our furniture, a technique in which two wood are joined simply by placing their ends together without any special shaping. We are using dowels alongside these to strengthen the structures.

We also decided to use brackets for the table fixture. These will support and bear the weight of the table against the wall.
