Thanks everyone for your inputs; the collective knowledge on this board is amazing. Now for some decisions - dowels or the tenon method? I will definitely go with wood glue and not use the ebony transition piece. I'll post some pics as the work progresses. Hunting seasons are starting to kick in and workshop time is limited.
