Tenon
Joinery Term
Used specifically in woodworking or carpentry when describing how two pieces of wood are joined.
The cabinet's strength relies on how well the tenon fits into its corresponding mortise.
Fits Like a Puzzle
Imagine a tenon as a puzzle piece designed to fit perfectly into a mortise, the matching hole.
I need to resize the tenon to fit snugly into the mortise.
Precision Needed
Creating a tenon requires accurate measurement and cutting for a stable joint.
Measure twice, cut once, to ensure the tenon fits right.
