good morning all ... here to pick your brains ...
my husband thinks there is a certain word that describes this type of joint, but he can't remember what it is:
this is the type where one section of the wood is inserted thru and beyond a plank, has a hole in it, and there's a big ol' peg inserted into the hole to affix.
anyone know what this type of joining is called? I mean, it's "more" than just mortise and tenon ...
t i a ! and happy tuesday to all.

touche` and ditto ...
been googling this morning, and closest i come up with so far is either a 'through mortise', or a 'through tenon', and those usually refer to pegs being driven into the actual mortise or tenon, but NOT the kind where the peg is on the outside.
AND a google hit did describe one of these and mentioned it was used a lot in the Arts and Crafts period, but that hit didn't 'state' what this joint is called ... dangit
........ well, off for another cup o joe and some more googling

----------------
it can be found on much of stickley items and was used in pegged fashion on much of the mission styled furniture...limbert, etc.
----------------
the joint is also used extensively on moravian furniture..especially n.c. furniture.

thank you very much myoldtoy, for taking the time to photograph that ...thank you too earthmum... i knew it was "some type" of mortise tenon, but with the wedged peg added to the through tenon, i wasn't sure how to describe this with the correct wording.

Ha, mortise and tenon lept from the depths of my forgotten memory, and low and behold it was close!
You know, the neat thing about alzheimers is that you get to meet the same new people every day. And the latest research indicates anti-biotics help. Whoda thunk?
and happy tuesday to all.
