Thanks YrHenSaer! So I guess the breadboard which joins the two panels will look something like the modified diagram I attached (I added two little broadboards to the ends for aesthetics as you suggest). Normally, you would glue the center tenon of a breadboard and leave the rest dry for wood movement, but you are suggesting leaving the whole thing dry. I assume that is to make it possible to take it apart. That sounds like a good idea though if I decided I did not want to take it apart, I could glue the central tenon and perhaps drawbore the thing. On the other hand, I like the possibility of disassembly.
By “draw bolts” I assume you mean those little pieces of hardware used to pull countertops together. I never used them and had to look them up. They seem like a very good solution if I decide to go with a breadboard that can be disassembled.
Thanks again. This is very helpful. I think I will try this using construction grade wood before trying it with my white oak.
