Unusual wood joint - davis844 - 03-28-2017 Can anyone identify this type of wood joint? It appears that the round part is not a dowel. I has been cut from the end grain of the drawer front. The joint is on the drawers of a small cabinet/nightstand RE: Unusual wood joint - MichaelMouse - 03-28-2017 Machine drawer joint.  Cousin of the 1/2 blind dovetail.  "Knapp Joint" as close as I come. Also Pin and Cove / Pin and Crescent RE: Unusual wood joint - daddo - 03-28-2017 I remember it as a "Pin and Scallop". But I bet it has many names other than the original "Knapp Joint". RE: Unusual wood joint - Steve N - 03-28-2017 When not made by some serious machinery, usually made with a jig like this one. Dowels are optional RE: Unusual wood joint - davis844 - 03-28-2017 Thanks. That's it. Its in a nightstand I inherited from my father. I was cleaning it the other day after taking it out of storage when I noticed the joint.

RE: Unusual wood joint - gjohn - 04-04-2017 If I recall correctly they were made between 1880 and 1900. At least the original Knapp joint. RE: Unusual wood joint - brianwelch - 04-05-2017 MLCS sells a system that can replicate that type of joint (sim, not identical) https://www.mlcswoodworking.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/smarthtml/pages/fast_joint_system.html
