It's weird how long a project stays in the "Almost Done" catagory, isn't it?
What next needs to happen is to prepare all the pieces that will get a wedge in the round tenon. To do this, all that is required is to saw down the middle of the tenon. This will leave a kerf wide enough to take a wedge. To be on the safe side, I first drilled some holes with my eggbeater Millers Falls #5 to stop the cut, and hopefully prevent the wood from splitting all the way down.

Almost done!
