ABSTRACT:
A method for employment in securing together wood components whcih are intended to be mated one to another. The method includes a first step of forming slots in engaged surfaces of the wood components, the slots being registered one with another when the components are at intended relative positions. Consequently, the slots are, when the components are engaged in such a manner, aligned along an axis. An attachment fitting is provided to effect the securing function. Such a fitting would, typically, include an elongated spanning member having a central portion and first and second distal portions. Each distal portion carries a resilient barb, the barb extending outwardly and toward the central portion of the spanning member. In effecting securement of the wood components, the components are disengaged from one another, and the first distal portion of the attachment device is inserted into the slot of one of the wood components. The second wood component is, thereafter, brought toward the first wood component so that the second distal portion of the spanning member enters the slot formed in the second wood component. The components are, thereafter, urged together to be held in a mated configuration by the barbs of the attachment fitting.
