Most woodworkers who employ biscuits for adjoining wood utilize one or more of the three most common biscuit sizes (#0, #10 and #20 biscuits), but they may not be aware that there are much smaller sizes of biscuits than the #0 on the market.
Some manufacturers offer smaller biscuits, available in 5/8", 3/4" and 1" sizes, which are ideally-suited for hobbyists and small woodworking projects such as delicate picture frames. Keep in mind, though, that your regular biscuit cutter will cut slots too large for these smaller biscuits.
