Hello,
I’m trying to recreate the table legs found in the attached picture, and was wondering about what would be the most effective way to join the leg branches securely. Would a single tenon 1.5″ wide X 2-3″ long suffice?
As an amateur, Festool dominoes are out of my reach, but pretty much open to any suggestions/advice.
Many thanks

I would use ordinary mortise and tenons. LxWxH of about 1/3 outside dimensions should be sufficient.
Yup, mortise and tenon. Drawbored and pegged.
M&T is the way to go; for all the wacky looking angles those are straight 90* connections. The real challenge is getting the compound angle cuts on the top and bottom. Maybe some sort of sub-top (or metal plates?) to mount the top to the legs.
Cool design.
And for shits 'n giggles, the angle on top = the angle on bottom.

Thanks for the tips. Much Appreciated!
