Pieces of wood shaped to fit into mortises to form joints (6)
I believe the answer is:
tenons
(Other definitions for tenons that I've seen before include "Projections that are fitted into a mortise" , "Projections that fit into mortises" , "Shaped ends of pieces of wood to fit into holes" .)
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
