Butt joints in furniture making is the joining of two pieces of wood, end to end without the assistance of a joining device such as fingers, dovetails, or box joining. Generally, the use of dowels or biscuits is encouraged to improve the strength of the joint. A butt joint without such reinforcement devices is the weakest form of joint, and may fail if stressed.
