Attaching 2" diameter turned 12" long legs (red oak) to the bottom of a 2.5" square poplar column as part of a daybed project. Will be doing this 4 times, once for each leg.
What is the best method for attachment, given that there will be mainly longitudinal load stress down the leg, but also potentially some lateral as well. Gut feel is that 1/2" dowels aren't going to cut it.
Thinking about a double-ended mid/large gauge screw, but would love to hear other thoughts.
