Step 13: Scribe the curved stile shoulder on the face of the rail with the parts aligned at 90 degrees.
Step 14: Transfer the end of the tenon shoulder to the other side, after marking out the tenon on the face of the rail.
Step 16: Chop the waste up to the curved tenon shoulder layout line with a chisel.
by two, then subtract it from 30 in., the total width of the door. This equals the total length of the rail. Crosscut the rails to length.
on the edges of the rails to make it easier to align the two faces of the tenon.
Step 13 Lay out the tenon shoulders on the rails by placing the stiles on top and scribing the slightly curved stile edge onto the rail. First align the rail at 90 degrees to the outside edge of the stile, then align the end of the rail with the bottom of the mortises.
Step 14 Flip the tenon and do the same for the other side. Mark the shoulders of the tenons 124
Step 15: Cut the faces of the tenons on the tablesaw with a dado blade, angling the miter gauge to follow the line of the joint. Cut up to the curved layout line as close as you can, but not over it.

Step 15 Mark and cut the tenons on the table with a dado blade. Set a dado blade to the height of the tenons, and cut just shy of your line. You want the tenons to be just a bit too thick for the mortises so you can fit them precisely by hand. The mullions are all fit against rails at 90 degrees (except the top rail); but you’ll need to angle the miter gauge by about 5 degrees for the bottom rail, and a few degrees less for the top rail. Cut close to, but not over, these curved layout lines on the face of the rail. The dado will cut a straight edge,
