Would you ever cut a V=notch in the end and add a thin wedge, that extends past the end (perhaps 1/8″ at most) as a means of locking the tenon into the mortise? Or, would you only use the tension and some glue?
Hi Christopher. You could add a blind wedge to the joint if you wanted to. In my experience with this I’ve simply glued the tenon into the mortice. But wedging would certainly increase the joint’s integrity.
Thanks
