A screw holds wood together better than any nail because it resists being pulled out much better. A screw is also easier to remove without damage. However, screws are more expensive to make and take longer to put in, so nails are still used in a lot of timber work.

What will hold two boards together better a screw a nail or a bolt?

If we are speaking of only one fastner, then the bolt,especially if used with washers are far the best. It depends on how the boards are oriented. If you're trying to strengthen two planks (flat side to flat side) and you have the room (after they're installed) then bolts, washers, lock washers, & nuts are the best. Screws set in at angle will hold better than nails. If this is a permenant application, you can use liquid nails, but it really isn't necessary.

Then carpenters glue is spread on the dowel and over the surfaces of the wood that will contact each other, and they are clamped together. Leave them clamped for at least 4 hours.
