    The document describes several types of joints for lengthening boards and framing timbers: - The Simple Lapped Dovetail joint uses dovetailed tenons to secure against tension and a scarf joint to prevent perpendicular shifting. - The Double Lapped Dovetail joint is more durable and decorative from both sides, with a second offset row of dovetails preventing opening under load. - Board Lengthening with Asymmetrical Dovetail Keys uses dovetailed keys in an alternating pattern to securely join boards against tension for lengthening or width joints.

    Lapped Dovetail
    The Simple Lapped Dovetail can be used to lengthen
    framing timbers, as well as boards or panels. Due
    to the dovetailed tenons, the joint is secured
    against longitudinal tension, while the scarf pre-
    vents a perpendicular shift.
    For decorative purposes, the tenons can take dif-
    ferent shapes, e.g. like Ginkgo leaves, which can be
    arranged regularly or freely.

    Double Lapped Dovetail


    As opposed to the simple version, the manufactu-
    ring of the Double Lapped Dovetail is much more
    costly. In exchange one gets a joint that is more du-
    rable and very decorative from both sides. The se-
    cond row of dovetails is offset and this prevents an
    opening of the lower rabbet caused by loading,
    which can occur with the simple version. Depending
    on the precision requested of the router, the joint
    can be executed as detachable or glued versions.

    Board Lengthening with


    Asymmetrical Dovetail Keys
    The Board Lengthening with Asymmetrical Dovetail
    Keys is a very decorative joint. Even though joints
    with dovetail keys are very old, they are hardly
    used in furniture construction. The dovetailed
    keys, which here are presented in an asymmetrical
    and alternating version, secure the joint against
    tension. The dovetail keys can be used for leng-
    thenings as well as for width joints, or for securing
    cracks in solid wood boards and planks. The deco-
    rative value of the joint can be increased by the use
    of fine woods or other materials.

    Board Lengthening with Jigsaw Keys


    The Board Lengthening with Jigsaw Keys clearly
    shows that let in loose connectors, a Jigsaw Key in
    our example, can take on a multitude of shapes.
    They can also be arranged in various ways in order
    to make a durable as well as decorative joint.
    When the Jigsaw Keys are used in width joints, due
    to the opposing main directions of shrinkage, it is
    recommended to keep the length of the keys to a
    minimum and to slightly undercut them at the
    ends.

    Lengthening with Meander Key


    Unlike other loose connectors, e.g. the dovetail
    key, there is no traditional model for the Meander
    Key. The reason for this is that a key of this shape
    can only be made out of material that can stand
    longitudinal as well as cross tension. Suitable mate-
    rials are, inter alia, multiplex plywood, acrylic glass
    or aluminium. When joining boards with a Meander
    Key, it is important to make sure that the wood is
    well dried and that there is enough material left at
    the inner radii of the key to withstand the tensile
    force.

    Detachable Lengthening with Key


    The Lengthening with Key was designed from the
    start to be a detachable joint. It can be detached
    and relocked at any time without tools. The region
    around the joint is flattened on both boards and is
    provided with a slot. When both parts are assem-
    bled, the key is introduced into the interconnected
    slot and then turned. The geometry of the slot
    stops the key after a quarter turn. As the strain on
    all parts of this joint is particularly high, it is re-
    commended to execute it in multiplex plywood.
