What is "finger jointing"?

The multiple finger-jointing (also called finger-joint) is a solid wood joining technique that involves joining short boards with glued "finger" teeth under pressure to form long and stable boards. These boards can then be edge-glued to create a solid panel (tabletop, front, upright).
Why do we use it?

  • Dimensional stability: the controlled orientation of fibers and finger-jointing limit warping and cracking compared to large single-piece boards.

  • Durability & precision: consistent industrial assembly, good long-term maintenance, mechanical strength suitable for furniture use.

  • Resource optimization: healthy boards from optimized cuts are used, which reduces waste.

  • True wood aesthetics: 100% wood finish, with natural grain and variations (possible presence of knots).
    Technically

  • Steps: 1) finger-jointing short boards with multiple joints → long boards; 2) edge-gluingsolid panel.

  • Gluing and pressing are done in the workshop according to our quality procedures.
    In practice

  • Ideal for tabletops, fronts, and large elements requiring stability and solid appearance.

  • Maintenance: slightly damp soft cloth, then dry; use coasters and trivets.

  • Material reminder: since wood is natural, knots, color variations, and grain are not considered defects.
