At Oak Hills Woodwork, we pride ourselves on our commitment to these centuries-old traditions, constructing each piece without the use of fasteners like nails or screws, ensuring the longevity and beauty of each piece we create.

Why Traditional Joinery?
Before the invention of nails, people relied on traditional joinery to connect pieces of wood, involving notching or cutting sections of wood and joining them together like a puzzle. This method creates a bond that is stronger than the wood itself, ensuring the longevity of the piece.
You might wonder if a piece built without screws or nails can withstand the test of time. Well, consider your great grandmother’s hutch or dining table. Chances are, they were built to last using traditional joinery techniques like dovetails or mortise and tenon. By not relying on foreign objects, traditional joinery actually creates pieces that are structurally sound and incredibly durable.
