Morose and tension joints

[Jim Becker]

Rod, surely you have instances where that bridal joint later BECAME the morose joint?

Is that glue failure or material failure?

Jim, it seems to be ALWAYS the fault of the tenon.

Perhaps the joinery needs more planning?

I have found that when you have a particularly beautiful piece of material, the morose must be suitably warmed up before the tension can be utilized properly. Seemingly.

...Think of it as a period of fore-planning.

If the morose doesn’t fit properly, a cheesel can be used to get it into the tension. A good fitting tension is a buutful thang.

Of course, however admitting that it was my fault, even if I don’t understand what we’re talking about solves the problem

[Andy D Jones]

Just wondering if anyone has tried to smoke a morose and tension joint in order to relieve said tension?

Lots of morose and tension joints have been fumed, with pleasing results.
