These kinds of recipes should probably be relegated to book-only mind, since we assume the survivor isn't a wunderkind with advanced knowledge of cultural woodworking techniques. This would make them extremely niche since in most scenarios nails would be far easier to find than a manual on Japanese woodworking techniques, and the only real time this would be applicable (Innawoods) you can't find books anyway.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
At the moment the game assumes that the only way to join several pieces of wood (when building wooden frames) is nails. To be more specific, the assumption seems to be that everything is constructed from 2x4s affixed with nails, and the construction can be pulled apart easily.
In real world techniques exist that allow complex wooden construction without use of nails. Those are Japanese Wood Joinery ("Sashimono"), then we have Russian wood buildings like Kizhi Pogost.
This is a common problem with crafting games in general.
Solution you would like.
Add nail-less recipes which could produce wood frames, foldable wood frames without use of nails. "Sashimono" techniques would require wooden planks, and Kizhi Poghost technique would require logs.
Given the nature of the techniques used, it should not be possible to disassemble the recipes back into planks of wood, and they should produce splintered wood when disassembled (for Sashimono) and sticks or planks and splintered wood for Kizhi-style building.
It would be nice to have a way to affix wooden frames together without nails as well.
Describe alternatives you have considered.
No alternatives to think of.

Examples of japanese wood joinery can be found on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KqIIOyuo1Q
I have difficulty locating detailed explanation of wooden techniques used in Kizhi Poghost, but general overview of the church can be found on youtube as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uEaJki7W8s And a short overview of history can be found online as well: https://seeforestfortrees.com/wooden-architecture-russias-window-on-the-past-present-and-future-354a22ceb5fc
