I'm planning on making some cabinets and was going to use half-laps on the cabinet door frames (frame and panel) but thought I could offset the "tenon" a bit. Seems a little stronger to me and should also help with alignment during assembly. Is there a name for this version of the half-lap joint? I couldn't find anything online.

Also, am thinking of making some people doors. Was considering making two layers of the half-lap joint as above and laminating together as below with the result that it's essentially a laminated mortise and tenon:

Was thinking of doing this to help stabilize the wood rather than doing a true mortise and tenon with one layer of wood. Considering pegging and gluing. Any thoughts? Thanks.
