The objective is to make the parts fit closely together. Maximize the gluing surface by making the tenon as long as possible (approximately 1/2 the width of the stile or longer, if using narrow stock). Balance the joint by using the same amount of wood in the tenon as in the combined thickness of the mortise walls (Fig. 26). If one piece of wood is larger than the other, make the tenon as thick as possible (Fig. 27). Remember to figure the kerf of the saw blade when setting up for the cut.
