I'm still working on the base of my bench....
I'm using wedged tenons and have cut the kerfs to be around 6 - 7 degrees. For the top of the legs/trestle M&T the mortises have been cut back about 1/8" - 3/16". It looks like using a wedge that is 6 degrees may not spread the tenon enough. How many degrees should the wedges be? Same to match the kerf?
Thanks, Mike
