In an end-end tapered finger joint, I can see where many long skinny

My reference was more a box joint at 90 degrees. Can the 'fingers' be
too thin?
In my mind, such as it is, if taken to the extreme, one could reduce the
thickness of the finger in a box joint, to the point where you might as
well use a butt-joint.

My box joint fingers are 3/32" thick, give or take- that's the
thickness of the kerf on my freud blade, and the joints are about as
tough as anything you can make. Making them thinner than that seems
like a tall order, though I suppose it could be done with a bandsaw if
a guy were inhumanly patient.

Do I need more coffee?
