Summary
The paper makes the point that a finger-joint in itself is not useful to end users or specifiers, it is what the manufacturer can achieve by using finger-jointing which is useful. Therefore the marketing effort has to be aimed at making finger-jointing acceptable to end users and specifiers so that a manufacturer can use the process whenever convenient or essential to him.
The author gives a personal account of marketing finger-jointed timber and components and goes on to suggest ways in which finger-jointing could be made more acceptable in future, including the use of quality control and quality assurance as part of the marketing effort.
