Exposed joinery - Tusk tenons
Hello,
I'm in the design phase of a project and looking for examples of exposed joinery. And I'm not having much luck, beyond the Stickley genre.
I've googled "exposed joinery", "knock down joinery", "through tenon", "tusk tenon", etc. As well as I've been to 3 local book stores. Not much found.
I know there has to be information around on this. Isn't there a whole design philosophy around it? I seem to recall there was even an "fundamental" form of it, where folks don't use glue or fasteners...just wooden joinery.
Anyone know where I can find information on these types of joints?
Thanks,
M.J.
