More Japanese joinery up in this joint.

Got more of the Japanese joint completed today. All the components are assembled and ready for finishing. I'm really pleased with the way it is coming out so far. Although there are some gaps here and there, everything fits together tightly and the connection is proven.  It took some very fine sawing and chiseling to make it all come together.

Here you can see the tenon is held in with two wedges all the way in. The wedges are cut from a piece of teak Greg had in the 3D workshop....Nice bloke.

When they are all the way in, they are snug and flush to the surface. This is the way I intended the joint to look.

Underside with wedges coming through. The kind of look like walrus tusks. I like it.

The wedges pushed half way out of the top.
