    This document describes different types of wood joints, ranking them based on their strength and complexity. Butt, mitered butt, and pocket joints are the simplest but weakest, used mainly for framing. Dowel, biscuit, dado, and rabbet joints have medium strength and complexity, common for furniture, frames, and cabinetry. The strongest and most complex joints like mortise-and-tenon, finger, dovetail, and tongue-and-groove are suitable for heavy furniture, building structures, and flooring.
