MORTISE & TENON MAGAZINE is a celebration of hand tools and traditional woodworking, seeking to bridge the worlds of furniture maker, conservator, and scholar. M&T is published twice a year.

M&T exists to showcase premier furniture artisans and scholars in an elegant and artful manner. The magazine is printed on uncoated thick paper with a minimalist photography-saturated aesthetic.
The passion to marry scholarship with craft practice imbues the publication with a unique voice in the world of woodworking media.
