Default Which is stronger?

I would go with "B". Does it need to be floating tenon? It would be
slightly stronger if you use a real tenon. For a chair this could be
significant.


While I tend to agree on the surface, that's actually been proven to not
make much difference, if any, and certainly a "real" _angled_ tenon could be
much less strong depending upon the grain of the particular piece.

The jury is still out ...
