Guys,
I had forgotten about finishing the inside of the rabbit but, I got lucky because I spent so much time on the edges there was overlap onto the rabbit edge.
The posts were 1 3/8 square and the through mortises were cut with the 10mm Domino cutter plunged in from both sides. I then used a chisel to square the rounded over mortises. The long tenons were first cut on the table saw with a 10" blade and then I had to finish the cut with a Japanese hand saw to get the 4" long tenons. I was going to wedge the outside of the through mortises but the fit was so tight I decided that they looked clean as cut.
I did get carried away with my RO 90 and the Platen 2 pads to buff out the Minwax Wipe-On Poly.
When the mirror frame was finished I opened the brown wrapped mirror from the glass shop and found a nice piece of plain glass. Back to the glass shop were they promptly cut me a mirror but when I got it back to my shop, the idiots cut it 1/16 oversize in both dimensions! I figured that if I went back to the glass shop it might have gotten ugly so, I just opened the rabbit a bit more with a router and chisel.
