The study was conducted to determine the performance of dovetail joint and mortise and tenon joint considering the dimension and material construction. Specifically, the experiment used three Philippine Woods: Gmelina, Coconut and White lauan. For the findings of the study, the test of difference on shear strength perpendicular to grain of the dovetail joints and mortise and tenon joints, the overall ANOVA model df=2(F,2.400) p=.146 showed no significant difference with underlying parameters. Further, no relative reactions or significant evidence shown in the experiment that the 3 types of wood with its specific dimensions will result to a greater strength of mortise and tenon joints than dovetail joints or the reverse. For the conclusion, Gmelina offers greater wood properties in terms of dimensions. However, this does not necessarily considered as a factors of the strength of other wood samples. Gmelina offers a greater strength in terms of compression parallel to grain and tensile strength while coco offers a greater compressive strength perpendicular to grain. Dovetail joint offer a greater shear strength and low impact strength compared to mortise and tenon joints. Mortise and tenon joints offers relatively low shear strength and greater impact strength compared to dovetail joint. Dovetail joints and mortise and tenon joints have insignificant differences in strength under dimensions and species. And Dovetail joints and mortise and tenon joints have insignificant difference in shear strength and impact strength.
