    How best to attach legs to this desk?

    I'm working on a pair of desks using the plans drafted by the man who designed and built this desk:

    I have much of the casework complete and the legs are already milled.

    My remaining question is how best to affix the legs to the case.

    The only differences between the desk in the photo and the ones I'm constructing is that mine are a bit beefier -- just a few inches longer (the main case is 41" long) and the walnut I'm using has an actual thickness of ~22mm (about 0.85") for all the parts of the case and the legs.

    I believe in the original (in photo), the legs are attached with screws from the outside, with the holes filled with matching plugs.

    I like to avoid screws when I can, but I realize they are likely the most sound method of affixing these legs. Would any domino (mid-size, or even up to the 10mm--the largest that can be used in the Domino 500) suffice, or would that be too risky?
