   Two choices. Well, three:

   1) Glue thin wood, or veneer onto the skinny tenon, resize and assemble.

   2) Remove the offending tennon, work a mortise in the end of the piece where the tennon used to be, and use a (properly sized) floating tenon.

   3) Go to the woodpile, pick out a nice, new piece of wood and redo the offending piece.

   All three choices have their respective merits. Your call.

   I remembered for some odd reason I did make an extra peice, so I just used the new piece, however, I will keep the floating tenon and veneerin mind for next time.

   Glue a veneer build-up or floating tenon.Or if possible, cut a kerf and use a wedge & tenon if it will work without splitting the wood.Greg

   I would use epoxy, and mix additives to it to make it as thick as peanut butter, then spread it all over the tenon, and over-fill the mortise, so that the excess will have to squeeze out as the tenon is inserted.

   I normally keep colloidal silica to thicken epoxy, but also add the dust from my belt sander to change the color to whatever wood I am using.
