Internal:Integrity joint

I thought it would be interesting to have through tenons for a joint that spell out words.

To CNC these parts, I needed to optimize the shapes that a router bit would be able to cut for the tenons and the mortises, so I created a Font for inside and outside CNCing. I routed some example pieces on the ShopBot, but since the tenon needs to be machined on the end face of a board, and the ShopBot has a limited z-axis height, the parts that could be made with this would be very limited.

In the end I left it as a concept piece.
