New Moravian Bench build Part 2
The old thread was getting a little long in tooth.
Friday night I screwed up one of the long stretcher tenons. After several rounds of "what if" and "yes but" I made the correct decision and went to the woodstore Saturday and picked up a nice hunk of 12/4 Poplar and started over.
Here are some photos of cutting the new tenons.

Next up is fitting the tenons to the base units. Once that is done I'll clean up the base parts and glue 'em up. Then comes the fun part, glueing up the slab. I and my back keep hoping to find a 12/4 slab of something that is wide enough for the slab but so far no joy.
