Rear seat to side stretcher occur in the same members and they are close. By carefully arranging the tenons you can avoid a problem. The top back stretcher will flush at the rear with the long rear leg.
Then the leg is shaped to make a smooth curving plane. Same is true on the front although I start with the stretch recessed and then blend. Other details like the front leg are more typical. I made forms from an old table top to curve the rear slats. 5 laminations yields 3/4" thickness. All pieces were re sawed and then run through the drum sander.
I made 2 forms to make things go faster. I did 2 in the morning and 2 at the end of the day. While they were drying, I worked on the angled mortises.
I made a trial fit and it was very good. You can see the angle of the tenon will follow the curve of the back. That way when you shape the back the tenon stays safely within solid back. I have continued on the chairs making all of the parts.
Assembly of the back and the front. Gluing up and shaping.
