Maloof pins
http://americanart.si.edu/maloof/design/fig171.jpg
Maloof appears to pin the crest rail through the back legs of that chair. I can understand why he'd pin the chair rail tenons as a drawbored M&T is quite sturdy indeed. But when he pins the crest rail, he's boring through end grain. I would think those pins would weaken, not strengthen, then chair. Then it occured to me. Maloof's not pinning the crest rail tenon. Despite the round ends, those aren't pins he's using. They're wedges. That's just a guess. Am I right? |
