A method of making a joint, comprising: providing a first member formed of wood or wood based material; providing a second member formed of wood or wood based material; the first and second members having sides surfaces, which are parallel with a longitudinal direction of the members; forming a finger joint comprising: forming a plurality of parallel, straight notches, which run across an end portion of the first member, whereby a plurality of parallel straight finger-like projections are formed, forming a plurality of parallel, straight notches, which run across an end portion of the second member, whereby a plurality of parallel straight finger-like projections are formed, and joining the first and second members end-to-end along the longitudinal direction by means of the finger joint; wherein the notches are formed such that a plane comprising substantially the entire length of each finger tip, and/or a plane comprising substantially the entire length of each notch bottom, extends at an angle (a) other than a right angle to the longitudinal direction, characterized by providing the first member by arranging first and second laminated material pieces (13a, 13b), such that the second material piece extends further than the first material piece by a length substantially corresponding to T / tan(a), where T is the thickness of the second material piece, and subsequently cutting the first member along a cutting plane (Pc) which substantially tangents an end part of the first laminated material piece at a line directly adjacent the second laminated material piece, such that only triangular portions (14a, 14b, 14c, 14d) are cut away. providing a first member formed of wood or wood based material; providing a second member formed of wood or wood based material; the first and second members having sides surfaces, which are parallel with a longitudinal direction of the members; forming a finger joint comprising: forming a plurality of parallel, straight notches, which run across an end portion of the first member, whereby a plurality of parallel straight finger-like projections are formed, forming a plurality of parallel, straight notches, which run across an end portion of the second member, whereby a plurality of parallel straight finger-like projections are formed, and joining the first and second members end-to-end along the longitudinal direction by means of the finger joint; wherein the notches are formed such that a plane comprising substantially the entire length of each finger tip, and/or a plane comprising substantially the entire length of each notch bottom, extends at an angle (a) other than a right angle to the longitudinal direction, characterized by providing the first member by arranging first and second laminated material pieces (13a, 13b), such that the second material piece extends further than the first material piece by a length substantially corresponding to T / tan(a), where T is the thickness of the second material piece, and subsequently cutting the first member along a cutting plane (Pc) which substantially tangents an end part of the first laminated material piece at a line directly adjacent the second laminated material piece, such that only triangular portions (14a, 14b, 14c, 14d) are cut away. forming a plurality of parallel, straight notches, which run across an end portion of the first member, whereby a plurality of parallel straight finger-like projections are formed, forming a plurality of parallel, straight notches, which run across an end portion of the second member, whereby a plurality of parallel straight finger-like projections are formed, and joining the first and second members end-to-end along the longitudinal direction by means of the finger joint; wherein the notches are formed such that a plane comprising substantially the entire length of each finger tip, and/or a plane comprising substantially the entire length of each notch bottom, extends at an angle (a) other than a right angle to the longitudinal direction, characterized by providing the first member by arranging first and second laminated material pieces (13a, 13b), such that the second material piece extends further than the first material piece by a length substantially corresponding to T / tan(a), where T is the thickness of the second material piece, and subsequently cutting the first member along a cutting plane (Pc) which substantially tangents an end part of the first laminated material piece at a line directly adjacent the second laminated material piece, such that only triangular portions (14a, 14b, 14c, 14d) are cut away.
