Construction Details
The finest furniture captures beauty, efficiency, and strength, all at once. Cabinetry that only possesses one of these qualities will soon agitate you, and those which embody two of the three will leave much to be desired. However, custom cabinets built both to last and to impress will do just that, for generations to come. Each intricate construction detail of your Amish Cabinets of Texas lends itself to the achievement of your unique storage and interior design needs.
Custom Miter Lock Joint
Named after the tall, pointed headdress worn by bishops, this joint describes two beveled joints that form a corner. Miter joints are often criticized for their weakness, but our custom miter design amplifies its strength. We use our specialized miter joints for both cabinet drawer and door construction.
Dove Tail Drawer Joint
Traditionally, dove tail joints were used in absence of suitable wood glues. The tapered shape of the joints held woodwork together; the inherent beauty of the design is a fortunate upside. At once uniform and elaborate, dove tail joints are admired in contemporary carpentry more for aesthetics than functionality. You’ll find the traditional dovetail tucked away in the corners of the drawer boxes. Each drawer box is reinforced with a dado (slide-in) joint design, for superior stability.
