I am currently building the Prairie Chair, and I have all of the panels made, but not glued up. The panels fit into the legs with a long mortise and tennon joint. Should I glue up the panels and make the cut, or should I cut the tennons as single parts?
I was thinking of gluing the panels together, and making the initial tennon cuts, then using a router to mill the rest of the ends on the tennon. Hope that makes sense... Here is a picture of the chair on the stickley site...
Also, how would you attach the arms to the chair? I was thinking with dowels...
