Cutting Tenon Stock

I've got a box of 500 Domino tenons of various sizes, but the length of the tenons is fixed. I needed some short tenons for the top and bottom, and some longer ones that could join three pieces. So I found some scraps and started cutting some tenon stock.

Cutting to width first:


Cutting to thickness:


Rounding over at the router table:


It was actually about as fast to cut them to length by hand then to set up the bandsaw or tablesaw to do it for 12 tenons. Probably took about 5 minutes, tops.


This also gave me the opportunity to fix a mistake I had made where I ended up placing a Domino incorrectly, and had to cut another one adjacent to it. This sort of plug is called a 'dutchman'. Stuck the tenon stock in:


Trim to length with a flush-cut saw.


Plane it smooth with a flush plane.


Had I been thinking about it, I probably could have flipped the plug so the grain orientation would be a better match. However, this is on the inside back of the panel, and it will never be seen. So good enough.
