Hello All,
I am starting my next project this week. I will be making a hall table out of walnut and mahogany. The question I have is about the legs. My plans are to make the legs 28 inches long. 26inch long walnut and a 2 inch piece of mahogany. I will be tapering the inside edge of the legs. How should I attach the block of mahogany to the bottom of the leg. I was planning on using a single dowel and glue. Do you have any other ideas to attach the block to the walnut? Keep in mind that the taper will cut through some of the block. I don't have a doweling jig but it might be a good time to get one if there are no ideas. Any recommendations on doweling jigs are also appreciated.
