Mitered Tenons

All of the slip tenons are mitered on one end, where they meet inside the leg. Here's my setup for cutting the miters on such small, hard to hold parts. The tenon stock was cut to a rough length that yields two tenons from one piece of stock. Nothing fancy, but very consistent.

Had a great visit to Horizon Wood yesterday and purchased some beautiful crotch walnut.

I decided to rough out the shape of the aprons on the table saw instead of doing it by hand. I like this method, and safer than trying to do it via a couple angled rips.
