Confession: I am a new woodworker looking for experiences advice so as to not to mess up before I start.
See Photo below.
I want to build some shelves like the pic below. (neglect the other stuff).
These are big shelves, every member is 2” thk finished.
I want to use through tenons wherever possible. I like the “rustic” look of exposed tenons.
But what to do with the outer members (circles in white)? Dove tails would be awesome. But I do not want to hand saw dovetails. How would you do this joinery?
Thanks
