FWW Army-
I received some plans for a table using some 70 year old laminated hard maple slabs. For the most part it is a straight forward design, with the exception of four angled (45*)braces that attach the skirts to each other. Each brace will have 2 lag bolts to attach a leg with knock-down capabilities. The tricky part is that the braces are joined to the skirts with through tenons. I have thought of a variety of ways to do this, but I would like to hear from the “Army” and entertain other solutions.
Thanks all!

If I understand what you are asking. For mortises that have perpendicular sides but the ends are angled. I usually will cut whatever portion that I can with a router-jig, or other mortiser, then finish out the end cuts to the desired angle by clamping a block with that angle sawn on the end of it to guide the chisel.
In your case, I would cut a 45ยบ angle on the end of something like a 1 x 2, then clamp it on the face at the end of the mortise, to guide the chisel.
I hope this helps. K
