Finger-jointed boards are made by joining shorter pieces of wood together using interlocking cuts, resembling fingers. This technique allows manufacturers to create longer, more stable boards from smaller, often leftover pieces of lumber. The joints are typically glued and pressed together, resulting in a strong bond. These boards are commonly used in furniture making, cabinetry, and construction due to their durability and resistance to warping. By maximizing the use of available wood, finger-jointed boards are also an environmentally friendly option, reducing waste in the lumber industry while providing a cost-effective solution for various woodworking projects.
