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-gluing → solid 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.
