Our products are constructed using multiple pressure clamping, precisely machined components, interlocking joints, and the wood’s natural moisture to tighten joints. Frames are put under 400-600 pounds of pressure using the mortise and tenon joinery. The posts are dried to a specific moisture range and in combination with kiln dried stretchers create the expansion and swelling of stretcher dowel. The stretchers are further interlocked within the interior of the leg post to create a wood to wood solid joint.

Dixie Seating Company products use an assembly method which provides for a fail safe, stronger and more durable construction method. All Products use wood interlocking joints much like a dovetail wood to wood joint. This method locks the product together. Secondly, the product is clamped together using 400-600 pounds of pressure to force fit the joint together. Exact machining of the parts is required for this method of manufacturing and therefore eliminates misaligned product pieces. Thirdly, DSC uses the moisture and drying of wood to different moisture content to provide a shrinking and swelling of wood joints. This provides for continually increased strength of joints as the product ages.

This method of construction is far superior to the glue and pin nail method which does not require parts to fit and tolerances to be exact.. A simple way to test the difference in construction strength is through a destruction test which basically requires tearing a product apart.
