I know I should just recut. Problem is, I cant use any more lumber for the chairs. It would leave me short for the table, and this wood is not something I can get around the corner, and Id hate to have to buy one piece and pay for shipping, and so on.
The shoulder on 2 tenons are a bit curved. curved outside, but the tenon fits perfectly, the shoulders leave a sliver of light passing through a back slat to where it attaches to a leg.
The joint is not stress bearing, and the glue and screw hold it well.
Is it repairable without recutting?
I cannot trim it at all cause it will shorten length of slat, and every slat on chair including seat support are same exact size.
I really have no idea how to fix a shoulder on a tenon. 2 slightly off out of about 100.
The lexan zero clearance plate(only 3/32) gave a little from downward pressure Im guessing, and caused me to cut a bit more off.
i drew a rough, very rough, sketch of the problem and exaggerated the gap to show it.
the reason I fell short on the wood count, is that orginally I was going to use 5/4 stock for entire frame of chair, but changed the seat supports to 3/4 inch. I have extra 5/4, but I have no way of planing Ipe, nor do I think anyone would actually plane this stuff)
