Abstract
A rigid body has at least one hole formed therein for receiving a piece of lumber of rectangular cross-section. The hole is rectangular in cross-section to form two long sides and two short sides of the hole, with a longitudinal axis extending through the hole. Three ribs are provided which project into the hole and extend parallel with the axis of the hole. A first rib is formed at the midpoint of one of the long sides of the hole; and a second rib is formed at the midpoint of the other one of the long sides of the hole. A third rib is formed at the midpoint of one of the short sides of the hole. An opening is formed through the one short side of the hole. When the piece of lumber is disposed within the hole in the body, a fastener such as a screw extends through the opening and into the piece of lumber to fasten the body to the piece of lumber.
