Here's another asthetic question since I liked y'all's answers to the first one so well.
I'm not pleased with the thru-tenon appearance on the left side of the case.
Like I said in the post, even though I used a backer board, my mortiser bit left some tearout. I expect most of it will clean up when I smooth the board with a handplane. But if not (and even if it does remove it all) I'm thinking about easing the edges of the mortises on both sides as well as the corners of the tenons.
The one on the right below is just with the tenon edge eased and the left has both eased. I can't decide if I like both eased. What say you?
And the tenons on this end had some funky grain going on. I don't hate it, it gives it some character. But the little spot in the right one where a limb shoot or something formed has a small void. Fill it or leave it?
