  • Publication number: 20040161574
    Abstract: The durable products of prior art woodworking have always been unyielding constructions of individual wooden elements held and forced rigidly in place by rigid means such as joinery, fasteners, adhesives, or supporting structures. In the present invention a new method of mobile wood joinery alone is used to draw the wooden elements into place while yet allowing them a range of motion. The joinery of the present invention is mobile, resilient, elastic, and dimensionally dynamic and so are the products made using the present invention. In the present invention a width of resilient elastic adhesive is bonded to the adjoining surfaces of the unmilled individual wooden elements of a wooden product. When the adhesive dries, a mobile, resilient, elastic, dimensionally dynamic joint has been formed. This joint can be bent, hinged, stretched, or compressed in many different directions. The individual wooden elements joined using the present invention can move independently of each other.
