From forest to furniture, solid wood lives on and adjusts with your home through time. It acclimatises to changes like temperature and lighting. Heirlooms of tomorrow, our furniture can therefore stand strong and grow with you for&nbsp;generations.<\/p>\n<h6 id=\"traditional-joints\">TRADITIONAL JOINTS<\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trusted for centuries as the most robust joinery methods, our skilled carpenters use two main techniques &#8211; mortise and tenons and Dovetails. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe use solid wood in the carcass of our furniture together with mortise and tenon joints, to give our products stronger bones,\u201d continues Tom. Mortise and tenons are comprised of a \u2018tongue\u2019 and \u2018slot\u2019 structure. They offer a larger surface area &#8211; in comparison to dowels for example &#8211; that boosts the bind of the overall&nbsp;piece.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14442\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14442\" style=\"width: 677px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/collections\/elkstone-oak-furniture\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14442\" style=\"color: #000000;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/CotswoldCo_SS22_0622_LRC.jpg?resize=677%2C904&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Elkstone\" width=\"677\" height=\"904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/CotswoldCo_SS22_0622_LRC.jpg?w=1302&amp;ssl=1 1302w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/CotswoldCo_SS22_0622_LRC.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/CotswoldCo_SS22_0622_LRC.jpg?resize=768%2C1025&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/CotswoldCo_SS22_0622_LRC.jpg?resize=1151%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1151w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/CotswoldCo_SS22_0622_LRC.jpg?resize=110%2C147&amp;ssl=1 110w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/CotswoldCo_SS22_0622_LRC.jpg?resize=300%2C400&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/CotswoldCo_SS22_0622_LRC.jpg?resize=380%2C507&amp;ssl=1 380w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/CotswoldCo_SS22_0622_LRC.jpg?resize=800%2C1067&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/CotswoldCo_SS22_0622_LRC.jpg?resize=1160%2C1548&amp;ssl=1 1160w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/CotswoldCo_SS22_0622_LRC.jpg?resize=220%2C294&amp;ssl=1 220w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/CotswoldCo_SS22_0622_LRC.jpg?resize=600%2C800&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/CotswoldCo_SS22_0622_LRC.jpg?resize=760%2C1014&amp;ssl=1 760w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/CotswoldCo_SS22_0622_LRC.jpg?resize=450%2C600&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 677px) 100vw, 677px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14442\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Carpenters have used mortise and tenons for centuries due to their unwavering strength and durability<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The ultimate sign of true craftsmanship, we use Dovetail joints in almost all our drawers. &#8220;A Dovetail is a fan shape that\u2019s cut and slotted back together.
