Woodworking Glossary

Dovetail

Interlocking tails and pins for drawer corners and carcass strength. Excellent tensile resistance along the joint.

Mortise and Tenon

Classic right-angle joint: a tenon tongue fits a mortise cavity. Strong in bending and racking when glued and pinned.

Shooting Board

A jig for trimming edges square with a hand plane. Ensures tight panel glue-ups and crisp miters.

Secondary Bevel

A small micro-bevel that speeds up sharpening while maintaining primary angle integrity and edge life.

Kerf

The width of material removed by a saw blade. Impacts fit, waste, and layout math.

Tear-out

Fiber breakout when cutting against grain. Mitigated by sharp tools, light passes, and backer boards.

Chamfer

A beveled edge, typically 45°, used to soften edges or create visual relief.

Relief Cut

A short cut that releases stress and prevents splintering before the final pass.
