styles and rails

 
here are some parts ready for assembly. You can see the mortise and tenon, we use a floating tenon most cases it is just easier and faster to fabricate. There is only one set-up on the mortise machine, and the tenons are cut in lineal stock and the cross cut accordingly. Purest would argue that the joint is not as good. Most of the industry has excepted the fact that a floating tenon is just fine. For us, we are trying to offer our clients a good value, happy ground between price and quality.
