relation to the large mortise in the vertical member is critical for getting a tight joint. Fig. 9 shows that the wedge mortise should extend about V* inch inside the large mortise. If this is not done, the wedge will not draw the joint tight. The wedge mortise should also be sloped to conform to the taper of the wedge.

Since these joints are usually used to join members of relatively large sections, the protruding tenons should be given fairly substantial shoulders to provide plenty of bearing surface. Also, the projecting tenon stub should be left rather long beyond the wedge mortise to prevent splitting of the stub along the grain from the mortise. For the sake of appearance, the tenon stub can be rounded off as shown or chamfered.

Wedges should be cut long enough to provide plenty of bearing surface on each side of the mortise, also to allow for trimming their ends so they protrude a uniform distance. Cut the wedges with lengthwise grain and taper one side. Too much taper will cause the wedges to work loose, so for these large wedges, a taper of 1 inch for every 6 inches of wedge length is about right. Traditionally the wedges are shaped at their upper ends as shown both for appearance and to facilitate removal.

The joints we've covered are the ones that most woodworkers use but there are many more exotic types. Chinese and Japanese joiners have traditionally disdained the use of fasteners or even glue and have created many ingenious wedged and pinned joints, some of which are very complex. Fig. 10 shows a Japanese miter-ed tenon joint that wedges itself.

This joint cannot be machined and demands a high degree of layout and hand tool skill. You can only profit from an attempt to duplicate this joint and who knows what your efforts will lead to.
