Today I'm embracing my inner nerd and posting about wood joinery. More specifically about Butterfly Joints. This type of joint can hold two separate planks of wood together. But what I really like is when it is used, in furniture or flooring, to lock natural cracks on a single plank and avoid it's further opening. The butterflies are usual of a contrasting wood or of a different material, such as metal (like in the picture above, which happens to be my favourite).
A way of transforming imperfection into something absolutely stunning!
What do you think?
Do you have an inner nerd that feels strangely attracted to this sort of detailing?
