   miller ,

                   What style chair you are making may determine the method to use . So what style chair are you making ?

             If it is say Mission , or Bentwood or French Provincial or Maloofian you can study the particular type and find illustrations to suit the style .There is unfortunately not just one answer for your question .

                    give us a bit more info

                                                regards dusty

   Its more of a Maloofian style.  I am trying to join a rounded front post to a flatter arm.  I was planing on leaving a rounded stud on the bottom of the arm and doing a saddle joint to the rounded post, and maybe pinning it with a contrasting wood.  I think this joint will hold up well, but I was wondering if there was a better way to do it.  AS to joining the arm to the back post I really don't have any "GOOD" ideas.  I guess I just want to know how others accomplish these joints.   THANKS
