A harder wood needs a steeper angle to have more material supporting the cutting edge. Softer woods need a flatter angle, less than 32°, so that the wood is cut before it is compressed too much.

Then measure the dimension of "A" horizontally. Though this dimension could be an arbitrary measure, about 10cm will be good. European and American architecture make use of similar joinery techniques, but often as a means to an end. After all, woodworking is, before anything else, a practical craft used to make practical goods and buildings. In Japan howeverm complex methods of joinery are used not only for practical reasons, but also to highlight craftsmanship, and to enhance aesthetic quality. These decorative joints have often been used in temples, shrines, and castles, but are particularly common in furniture making.

Of course, the big draw of sashimono is the largely concealed joint work, hidden away within the furniture itself. The Art Research Center at Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto, Japan, in collaboration with Kyoto Women’s University, explains that sashimono joinery relies on two techniques . The first is hozo , the joining of extended or projecting pieces called tenons with perfectly-fitting recessed slots called mortices. The second is tsunagi , joinery based on delicate geometric patterns.

To determine the koshi haba location (point of tarumi or mukumi), divide the length of the irimoya hafu facia into 5 equal lengths. If the koshi haba is located at % of the length away from the ogami end, the facia will appear strong at the point of tarumi or mukuri. 3. For a sori hafu facia, increase the tarumi slightly. If it is not enough, the curve line will appear straight. 7 giving greater resistance to the cutting. This is called crosscutting. Saw teeth are made ei¬ ther for ripping or for crosscutting, and are shaped accordingly. The tips of both types of teeth flare outward slightly so that‘the cutting surface of the saw is wider than its body, thereby preventing binding. (See Figures 2.15 and 2.16.) In reality, it is not much different than how you would create dovetails to join wood. But the complexity of these improves its durability and reduces the chance of it coming apart easily. These days people actually use different colored wood to show off the aesthetically pleasing joints in Japanese joinery. Step by Step Guide to Making Japanese Joinery Yourself
