Mortise and tenon for the slab legs. Mortise and tenon for the cherry stretcher with ebony wedges. Used the info from the article "Tabletop Finish With a Hand-Rubbed Feel".  Learned to be careful with spalted wood in the future. One of the sides had a small spalted area and when I put the ebony wedges in I produced a small crack. Superglue to the rescue!
