Mortise and Tenon Joints

All the furniture we provide is connected by mortise and tenon joints, which is a traditional Chinese technology listed as intangible cultural heritage by the United Nations. This technology is to form a clever combination through the concave and convex of the wood to achieve the connection. It can only be done by hand by experienced craftsmen. Mortise and tenon joints do not use metal nails and glue. It’s very stable and will not twist or bend. They can withstand severe shaking. The more shake, the more stable they are. Mortise and tenon joints do not have holes for installing metal nails. There are no gaps or installation holes from the appearance. The surface of the furniture is very complete and beautiful. Mortise and tenon joints do not use glue, which means that all furniture does not contain toxic substances such as formaldehyde. They are made of 100% golden nanmu, so they are very healthy and especially suitable for the elderly and children. Once the furniture is damaged, we can make the corresponding parts, connect the joints in a mortise and tenon manner, and replace them. The replaced furniture will not loosen, unlike metal nails that oxidize or the interface that loosens. Therefore, furniture with mortise and tenon structures can be used all the time and passed down from generation to generation.

Q & A

Why is the price of golden nanmu so different?

It is harder and denser, does not warp or crack, is not easy to decay, and has a smoother, more beautiful and shiny cut surface. Its wood fragrance is not pungent, but very soft. Putting clothes and jewelry in a box made of golden nanmu will stain the clothes with a very soft and pleasant fragrance. Small-leaf nanmu is an excellent material for high-quality construction, shipbuilding, furniture, carving and precision molds. Small leaves are the most expensive and scarce material.
