Table leg joint help

[joemodern]

I have a bent laminated leg that needs to attach to what I guess would be referred to as an apron under a coffee table top. Top is formed from slats if it matters. I've attached a photo with some notes.

The leg and apron is 50mm wide
Leg is 18mm thick
The apron should be 30mm maz thick and is also 50mm wide

The example apron is not cut with the angle or to final thickness yet and the leg is not cut either but the plan would be for the end to butt against the top.

It would seem I can place 2 rows of 6mm dominos, for a total of 4 at each joint.Will this provide enough support? Would using larger dominos, say 2 be better than 4 smaller? I have the XL Domino with the Senaca adapter for smaller dominos so any size can work.

I’ve looked at the photo, but admit I cannot see what you are trying to do.

My experience with multiple tenons in a joint is that the odds of getting everything to fit goes down exponentially as the number of tenons increases. I’d go with the fewest (biggest) tenons that fit.

Personally, I'd prefer traditional double tenon in this situation. However, both options you describe will work for a light duty coffee table. As noted above 2 larger dominos would be easier to fit.

Will this provide enough support?

Depends on what you want to build, to stabilize the legs of a coffee table some 6mm dominos likely do nicely. I would suggest testing a joint from scraps of the original material to destruction, in case you want to put any uncertainty to rest.

I have a couple legs I will test a couple joints on, thanks everyine for the help.
