Will you change the design in the full size chair to somehow allow for a mortise that is parallel to the edge?
Angles will be kept that was the main point of mock up. To see if I could do angled mortise.
I did use a guide with angled bit of wood stuck with double sided tape to help me with the angle.
The rails will also be flush with the outside of the front legs.
The back splat will have some fret work. The crown piece will also be a bit different.
The seat insert will probably be done with traditional methods webbing,horse hair, leather.
