Dovetail and Screwhead tape evolved from a series of discussions on furniture construction and whether structural detail could carry decorative qualities or change the perceived value of an object.
A dovetail joint or simply dovetail is a traditional woodworking technique used to join two pieces of wood at right angles to each other. Once glued, the joint is permanent and requires no mechanical fasteners. Noted for their strength they are a sign of good quality and long lasting durability.
