Boggs Favorite Joint: Double -Tapered Tenons w/Pantorouter

Brian shares why the taper locking double mortise and tenon is his favorite wooden joint. He also shares how he uses the Pantarouter for making the joints. Mortise and tenon joints have been the benchmark of great furniture for thousands of years, with tapered tenons being a trusted choice in Windsor chairs for centuries. Yet, woodworkers still default to straight tenons cut with routers, simply replicating antique joints rather than embracing a stronger, more efficient alternative. Tapered tenons offer significant advantages—they’re stronger, quicker to assemble, and more forgiving with tolerances, all while taking the same amount of time to cut as straight tenons. The only difference? A specialized router bit. The Pantorouter makes this process effortless, combining precision with ease of use. With the right bit and this innovative machine, you can bring the time-tested benefits of tapered tenons into your own work.
