I’m building a table. The aprons are flush with the sides of the leg. The aprons are roughly 7/8” and the legs are 2 3/4. My question is this:
1: do I stick to the 1/3 rule, which leaves me with 1/4” tenon and cheeks?
2: or do I make the tenon 3/8” and split the balance between the two mortise walls?
3: use an offset tenon with no cheek on the interior of the table?
Really concerned about blowing out the wall of the leg or using a tenon that’s too thin.
Thanks for your community wisdom!
