I have been thinking of trying this for a while, but never have.
Through loose tenons. I would keep them square instead of rounded.
Seems like it should work. The only problem I can think of is that
you would need to make sure that the tenon stock to matches in color
to the adjoining rail (if a lot of the tenon is exposed).
I expect to get a few "just use integral tenons for this", but
obviously I've considered that already and choose to explore "loose
tenons".
Ever tried it?

Thank you and yes it is, but I've never eaten there.

You didn't mention the specific application you had in mind.
If the through mortise length (can a hole have a length?) is
under about 1 1/2" - the loose tenon isn't over about 3/8"
thick - and round ends are acceptable
then
head over to YouTube and search for
DOMINO Through Mortise
or

The Festool DOMINO is REAL handy.

Ok. Thanks. I'm going to give it a go when I can find the time.

Nice web site. Is Stamey's (sp?) barbecue still in the area?

Good question. I once drilled a 1" diameter hole into the end of a 1"
diameter dowel and it took me hours to try and measure the length of
the hole.

End grain isn't going to match. Viva la difference!

You realize, don't you, Brian, that the phrase sounds an awful lot
like the title for a tawdry romance novel or cheesy daytime soap
opera?
"Through Loose Tenons", the story of a girl, her dog, her doctor,
his horse, and seven of the town drunks.

Right. An pine tenon wouldn't look right in a jarrah piece. <snort>

Newp, but I'll bet it would work just fine, given good joinery
workmanship.

Experimented with a batch of gift calendar frames with exposed loose
tenons a few years back. Tried some round and some square just for
grins. Both 1/4" tenon stock through 3/4" stiles, so they were small and
bit hard to work with.
I did try a slight, traditional bevel on the exposed corners of both
types. The square ones came out just fine, the rounded exposed tenons
looked more like blunted spearheads by the time I got through butchering
them. :(
(If I use rounded through loose tenons again, I will just leave them
exposed for what they are.)
All said/done, it's doable, it works, and there is no reason why you
can't do it.
Also think using loose tenons thicker than 1/4" would allow for a
better, more traditional look, and a lot easier to effect ... 3/8" thick
would be about a small as I would want to go.
FWIW ...
