Does this type of Joint have a name?
I need to make a few joints similar to the attached picture, can anyone tell me what this joint is called? or any links to methods to make this joint?
Its basically a pointed Dado, I made a test piece on some scrap using a 45 degree paring block, but I just want to do some googling to make sure I am not doing it the hard way and to hopefully pick-up some pointers on cutting them.
thanks

Hi Joez,
Is this for your Highchest ?
If it is, and that is a horizontal drawer rail going into the side of a chest, then I would describe it as a birds mouth join to the moulding or a mitred joint to the moulding possibly . The moulding being a D or like in your picture of the original chest a double D . they were usually about 4 mm to 5 mm thick and were a lot of the time cross grained , so end up in time with a lot of splits. your picture looks like a straight grained type, I cant see splits.
Under this the horizontal drawer rail is joined to the side of the chest with a Dovetail , beyond this on period pieces it gets more interesting in the upper section of a chest like that.
cheers Rob

You can make a block of wood up into a mitre template, a piece with a rebate that sits on the work piece and clamps it to the bench . After cutting out the bulk with a chisel or saw the 45 degree end guides the chisel while trimming to the scribed lines of your joint. it will do the male and female. I took some pictures, the explanation was getting long.

Hi Joez,
This.....
https://www.woodworkforums.com/f11/ih...85/index3.html
... might help?
If there isn't a tenon continuing on through the 'receiver' then I've heard it called a birdsbeak and, if like in the link above, there is a tenon then its often called a tenoned mitre joint.
I hope that helps....
