+1. :yes: If you want to maintain a butt joint, dowels will work.It's very easy to cut biscuit slots with a router and a slot cutter bit.
Edge gluing to make a wider panel is not a butt joint. No mechanical fasteners are needed. :smile:On the 2+ board but joint glue up (to make a really wide flat piece), I guess biscuits are common, what else is used on that?
On 2+ board glue ups, biscuits etc. are used to align the boards, a proper glue joint will be stronger than the surrounding wood so nothing is really necessary, they just make the job easier.Do the biscuit slots need to have a curved interior? I'll take a look at the slot cutting bits.
