Laxknut

Laxknut
Very old Swedish word of the day. Laxknut. Dovetail joint. As seen on an abandoned building during a very muddy walk yesterday in a forest behind the Hesslingby estate in rural Österhaninge.

Delicious bokeh Steffe 😀 love the dovetail joints as opposed to modern day staples!

I love the texture and color. As a woodworker myself, I appreciate the work and skill it takes to make dovetails. In my experience, though, I've rarely them in building construction. In the southeast States, the logs are often notched but that is a much simpler joint and don't look as nice as this.
