My experience with mortise & tenon joinery is very limited, so I really don't understand the round cornered mortise mating to a square cornered tenon as alluded to above. If the sides and ends of each are properly sized for a glue-up then how does a square corner fit into a round corner? I just see an interference fit that prevents assembly of the mating parts. I can accept a rounded tenon fitting into a square cornered mortise, but not the other way around. Perhaps my age is preventing me from understanding, but what did I miss from the above posts?
Also, I believe a round corner is less apt to fracture/split that a stressed square corner, so I've used the rounded corner for both the mortise and tenon.
