I’ve got a 43” long walnut top I want to make a console table. It’s 1 5/8” thick and about 9” wide.
Plan was to do 4 through wedge mortises for the legs and a floating drawer I’m still thinking how.
I cut the 4 walnut legs at about 2” x 1 13/16”. Well after the jointer and planer the legs on the right measured with my calipers at 1.88” x 1.78” and 2” x 1.92”. These plan to be the front legs.
Are these legs too small/narrow now for wedge through mortises? Maybe just a single wedge of thats a in the middle of the tenon if that’s possible.
The pair of legs on the left a little bigger I think 2” x 1.85”.
