The three leg pieces are finished with three coats of Waterlox and ready for assembly. The top and bottom pieces have the mortises while the center section has twin tenons.

I did offset pegs for a drawbore joint but as I banged things home, I was not completely satisfied with how  it drew together. Maybe I didn’t offset them enough or maybe the pieces are too thick for the size pegs I used. In any case, I quickly put some clamps on and that did a great job.
