Hi Nickbee

I use a bead bit to make my floating tenons,,,(1/4",3/8",1/2" ) I use hardwood 24" long stock the norm..
Just pop in one of your bead bits ( You may have many bead bits, just don't know you do) many bits have the bead profile cut in them,,,along with other profiles,,,on the same bit..

Just popin the bit in the router table, run one side and then flip it over and run the other side, I use 2" ,2 1/2", 3" wide stock,, do one side and then do the other side then rack them up and rap masking tape round the tenon stock, then when you need some tetons just cut off what you need,,,,I make all the sizes at one time and all about 24" long or about that...just like dowel rod stock,,,,I made a stand out of some 4" hvy.wall PCV pipe and about 16" tall, mounted in a flat board with a ring in it, to hold the same size PVC pipe..it now holds the dowel rods and the teton stock..

That reminds me I need to make some more ,getting low on the backup stock.
I also cut some off and put them in plastic jars,,,,so I have some ready to go quick and easy...the Boss buys stuff from Cosco/Sams that come in the larage plastic jars and just about always I nail them when I see them and put the stuff in a plastic bag and take the jar LOL LOL ...
