I feel like I’ve read dozens and dozens of articles and posts about tenon sizing, but I’m still a little unsure and would love some advice as this is my first time with M&T.
I’m joining 1.5” square red oak to other 1.5” square red oak. My original thought was a 1” long tenon that is .5” square, but that just seems a little weak to me. Would it be better to make the tenon with a .5” edge cheek but a 1” face cheek? And is 1” length ok or too long?
Any input is appreciated. Thanks.
