I am ready to do this right now. I've seen in videos how the work is laid out and cut to get the arm tenon through a skewed square hole in the curved arm, but it seems a better way, to me, to fake it.
Here is a pic from Stickley's website showing the finished product.
I want to mortise a 1/4" deep square hole, and fit a plug to it so the end result looks the same. In the bottom middle of the hole, I plan to bore and countersink a hole for a nice big wood screw to go down into the leg.
Same look, exactly, when done, but "fake." An Xray Sketchup screencap shows the plug and the plug in the mortise.
Sound OK to you?
