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

Machine drawer joint. Cousin of the 1/2 blind dovetail.
"Knapp Joint" as close as I come. ![[Image: 211552.jpg]](http://lumberjocks.com/assets/pictures/projects/211552.jpg) Also Pin and Cove / Pin and Crescent ![[Image: 878-561.jpg]](https://woodworker.com/images/ss/878-561.jpg)
Better to follow the leader than the pack. Less to step in.

I remember it as a "Pin and Scallop". But I bet it has many names other than the original "Knapp Joint".

When not made by some serious machinery, usually made with a jig like this one. Dowels are optional
Worst thing they can do is cook ya and eat ya

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.

Those joints were used for a relatively short period. I had looked it up before to help data some family furniture.

If I recall correctly they were made between 1880 and 1900. At least the original Knapp joint.

MLCS sells a system that can replicate that type of joint (sim, not identical)
