With the legs and stretchers glued up, it's time to shape the transition from leg to stretcher. I really enjoy using this small, curved-sole spokeshave for this shaping. It is small enough to get into some fairly tight places.
A Leg, A Stretcher, A Mortise and Tenon
Here is the leg-to-stretcher joint. A good portion of the material at this joint will be removed with the bandsaw after glue-up. The loose tenon has already been glued into the leg.
A Time for Splines
And here is the three-way spline, after cleanup and some fitting, inserted into one of three curved stretchers. The hand (mine) gives a sense of scale. It's a tiny little thing, kind of cute.
