    Abstract: A corner jack connector having integral prongs is provided. The corner jack connector is formed of a substantially planar piece of rigid material, preferably steel, and is configured so as to allow joining of wooden work pieces at various angles to one another as will be readily understood by those skilled in the art. The corner jack connector includes a central portion and first and second extensions disposed in spaced relation from each other and integral with the central portion. The skewable corner jack connector includes a plurality of integral prongs for securing the corner jack connector to the work pieces.
