Ted, I like the design, both in terms of its appearance, the inherent strength of the joinery. However, guess I'm going to show my inexperience here as that doesn't look like it's "straight forward" to cut to me. With the diagonal surfaces on the same planes, I think that would rule out a table saw; a band saw would leave a rough finish; so I'm guessing that would leave a router with some tricky templates to control angles & depth of cut. So, how would you go about cutting this, aside from a fair amount of chisel work?
