Furniture joint (8)

I believe the answer is:

dovetail

(Other definitions for dovetail that I've seen before include "Type of joint - fit closely together" , "good joint" , "Joint with fan-shaped tenon" , "Ali voted (anag) - joint" , "Joint - fit neatly" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
