Charlie,

This looks like it could have some promise. I had planned on mortises
perpendicular to the leg faces, but if I guess I could angle them to make
them in line with the rails. Making jigs for mortises in the legs won't be
so hard. However since I normally make mortises on my bench drill press,
I'm not sure how I can accurately cut the mortises for the loose tenons in
the ends of the rails. It looks like they should be cut prior to angling
the end face of the rails. So do you have a URL for a jig for accurately
drilling mortises in the end of the rails?

Sounds like loose tenons would be the way to go. With ten
chairs the time used to make fixtures to hold the parts for
mortising would be worth while.

Though the jig shown at the following url is for a horizontal
mortising machine, it may give you some ideas for your jigs.

check out the third page to see it set up for a curved chair
