With the slip tenons in place, I can finish up any fine tuning before assembly, including layout of the transition from leg to apron. Something about the composition of this image struck my eye.
Turkey Legs
Slip tenons, glued into the table legs. Sometimes it doesn't matter which part you glue the slip tenons into first. I glued them into the legs first because that way I could glue the tenons to each other where they are mitered inside the leg. Plus I don't have to worry about trying to clean up squeezeout down inside the leg mortise, as I would have if assembled differently.
Tenon Stock
Slip tenons, ready for some assembly.
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.
Stunning Stuff
Had a great visit to Horizon Wood yesterday and purchased some beautiful crotch walnut.
