Well fitting Dovetails and finger joints are beautiful as well as highly functional. They provide a classical quality to our furniture that only improves with age. Artefact carefully selects the timber to make each piece of furniture.
Timber is a wonderful natural material. Every board and every species is unique. Knowing how to select the right boards in the right species makes all the difference to the finished piece.
